Re: RH - what's the best percentage ?

For smoking - I love 70% humidity..just always felt right to me.

If I was going to store them for awhile and forget about them...62-65% for me.

Re: RH - what's the best percentage ?

I keep mine anywhere from 60-70%. I try to keep it between 60-65%, but I don't worry about it until it gets over 70%.

Re: RH - what's the best percentage ?

I've experimented from 60-70%. 68% is optimal for me.

Re: RH - what's the best percentage ?

I try and store mine at the higer end at around 68-70%. My logic behind this is that this way none of the oil will be lost as may happen at lower RH. Recently (past few months) I have noticed that my sticks perform better closer to 63% or about a day in the drybox.
Experimentation is key

Re: RH - what's the best percentage ?

I have 65% Heartfelt beads in all of my humidors and coolers.
I don't even bother with hygrometers, but for an occasional spot check.
