65% or 70%.... which is better

I guess I am the odd duck. Load of burn and draw issues at 63% but little or now problems at 66-67%. As has been said, it is all personal preference, which may require some experimentation.

The trick of getting the wrapper slightly (stress slightly) damp before smoking has worked well for me in smoking outside in cold temps where the humidity is either way up or way down.

I like to keep mine at 67.3256 rh. Just kidding.

Truthfully, I'm totally okay with anything between 65 and 70 which is where it usually is. Why? I have fluctuating beads, I think. I have more issues with poorly rolled cigars than I have with rh, and even this is not that much.

Low 60's here.

70% makes me more worried than 50%.
