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

I'm curious as to how some of the members here get there humi's to stay at these odd rH's, ie 62-64%...

They make 60%, 65%, and 70% beads.... How are you getting your humi's to maintain anything other than one of the general rH's with any type of accuracy?

I use 65% beads in my humi's, well humi now, and it stays rock solid at 65% so if I was interested in lower the rH to around 62% how would I go about doing that with out having to open and leave open the humi everyday?

You missed the Avallo Acuumonitor... Which is what I'm using.

I'm sure that's not the only one I missed.

I only use beads in my small humi.

I run a Oasis in the large one, and a Set & Forget in the cabinet.

In truth I don't worry all that much about the numbers. I glance at the hygrometers in the cabinet on occasion, but for the most part I let the condition of the cigars tell me what I need to know. I think people worry way too much about the numbers.

My feelings exactly.

If you like the way your cigars are smoking, who cares what the number is? And unless you have an extremely high end laboratory grade hygrometer, all the measurements as well as calibration are approximations at best.

I strive for 65% but as long as I maintain somewhere between 58% and 70% AND I am happy with the burn/draw, nothing else matters.
