Should I buy cigars kept at 55% RH?

I understand that in Asia cigars are kept at 50-55% humidity. I don't think that a cigar kept at 55 should pose a problem- IF that is an accurate reading. And, with a week or two in your humi, it should be up to your tastes.

My understanding is that this is a common British approach to aging. Yes, they are kept at a lower than normal humidity--but they are also kept at a lower temperature (around 55 degrees F or so).
