62-63% humidity

[QiCultivator]

I have a few small humidors that I seasoned for a week and I am using 65% humidipaks until I get some beads. I put the proper number of packs in each of them and they seem to be fluctuating between 62-64% but most often 62-63.

More people seem to prefer 65% humidity, as you generally get a better burn. That's why I went with 65% instead of 69%.

What are your opinions about this humidity level (62-63)? I am figuring the sticks will taste just fine I just wanted to hear what people think...

I keep mine between 62-64%, and like 62% the best. :2

Here in dry Colorado I've had trouble getting my humi's above the mid 60's for the last month... I'd say they have been hovering between 60-64% for the most part & everything has smoked really nicely!

I generally like to go between 65-68 % :ss

The humidity sounds just fine... only way to know for certain if it fits your preference is to store a few sticks in there and smoke them. In any case, the cigars won't be damaged at those levels. :2

That sounds perfect to me.

I am set at 64/64 but 62 would be fine as well.

65% here but I dry box for a couple of days prior to smoking to get them down to around 62%RH prior to smoking.

I use 65% beads and mine stays around 63-65 and that is perfect for me.

If I had a cigar genie, and could wish for 1 constant humidity level FOREVER, it would be 62%. :ss

Even 60% is fine, as long as the wrapper is not cracking.

Your good to go I think.:ss

I have 65% Beads in my cooler and desktop. The cooler holds 65 just fine, but the desktop is always around 60-62. I find that at the lower humidity the cigars smoke great.
