    Default Proper humidity

    Hello everyone, I have a small 50 count humidor which has stabilized at 70 degrees and 73%. Is the humidity too high? I am fearful of mold growing in the humidor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It's close to being too high I believe. Ideal is between 65-75 %. What humidification device are you using?

    68-69% Is perfect for me. I would consider 71 to be "too high" obviously keeping it too high will cause problems, but it's also relative. Some people like their humidity set to 70/71 some, like me, like 68/69 and I even know people who prefer 65/66

    Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about 70% humidity

    The humidity sitting around 73% would cause me some worries down the road. I usually have mine around 65-68.

    if it tastes of tomato and basil, am i ripping off italy? and, more imortantly, if it is delicious, does it matter?

    fat kid logic!

    Keep it below 70. Most will say 65%-68 is where it's at. Also make sure your using a CALIBRATED DIGITAL HYROMETER.

    it depends on what type of smokes you are storing, and personal tastes, but pretty much this! ^^^
