What humidity do you like?

[mcroom]

63-64% and about 60-65 degrees.

63-64% and about 60-65 degrees.

^^^^ this. Won't need to drybox them maddies. Keep mine 63-65% & 65-70 degrees. I'm just not as exact, never have any problems

 

[Kingpin]

Mine hivers between 65 and 67%

Everyone is giving very precise answers to the RH levels they keep but the numbers are very dependent on temperature. I guess we can assume that these values are all at 70 degrees but if not, then we cannot directly compare cigars. If I keep my cigars at 65% RH at 70 degrees and you keep yours at 65% RH at 65 degrees then they will smoke differently because they have different amounts of moisture in them.

( At least I think that this is the way it works )

After many struggles, I am cruising at 65%. FINALLY.

 

[ChefBoyRG54]

I'm at 64-66 in both coolers and temp is always in 60-65° range in my basement whether summer or winter in Michigan

 

[pmunley8188]

68° and 65%

 

[rdomfoto]

Mine was locked into 63% pretty steadily until about two weeks ago when it creeped up to 64%. They're smoking fine.

Sounds like I need to try and lower mine a bit. Mine normally sits around 67-68. I have been having a couple with burn issues.

 

[Billy42000]

67 for storage and 62 for what I'm going to smoke.

Maybe get a small Tupperware container to use as a second humidor and keep that at 63-65%, put a few sticks that you've had burn issues with in there and see if that fixes the issue before altering the rH for your entire humidor?

Good suggestion. Thanks.

My wineador jumps around from 63-66RH and that's typically where I like my stogies to be. Even better after 1-2 days of dry boxing. Any higher, I find to taste bitter and sour from being over humidified.

 

[Doug B]

62/63

 

[reidmorebooks]

Mine sticks at 65% when the temp is at 69-70. I had it up around 70% and had burn issues (getting hard spots) so I took out some of my KL to drop it some, and things have been burning much better since.

Science is way to complicated for me lol

 

[Stogies and Suds]

It's like a small luxury of living in Houston. All 3 of mine are kept around 65-69Rh and 75 Degrees.
