I was just curious at what humidity everyone keeps there precious collections at? Myself I have my Antietam with a Cigar Oasis set to keep the humidity at 65%. I have two Western Digital Hydrometers, one on the top one on the bottom both reading 65%.

I have a 150ct humi and a 120qt cooler with beads in both. They both stay at a steady 64% and everything seems perfect. Cigars are smoking great!!

Since my collection is 98% cuban.. I try to stick to around 64-65%... with various degree of success... at the moment.. it is reading 67% in there.. but with an 86% humidity in the air, that isn't too bad after having a prolonged open door to check through for beetles last night....

I am not stressing too much over a small variance... I look at average and long term.. not if it varies a degree after a rainy day or not..

68% for me ... I compromised between 65% and 70%, which gave me 67.5%, but then I had to round up.

I've given this too much thought, haven't I?

Between 65-67%. Have some N/C's in a desktop at around 70%, but I'll probably stick some beads in it and drop it to the same.

Mine tends to fluctuate depending on the temp in the room. On colder days it sets in at around 62/63% and on normal temp days it's about 66-68%. They all smoke just fine regardless I've found though. It's only during the summer that I have trouble cuz the humidity rises and occassionally goes above 70% but I adjust it quickly.

It interesting to see what everyone's thoughts are on this, RonC I saw that you wrote 65%, is that what you would recommend? And what are your feelings on NC as opposed to Cubans?

I started out storing at 70%, Probably like most of us when we were new to cigars. Over the years, I found that 65% was to my liking. I know people who store their ISOM at 60%. All a matter of personal taste.
