So I've read quite a bit on this board that suggests 65% beads for storing cigars may be better that the usually recommended 70%. I bought 65% beads but my freshly calibrated digital hygrometer still reads 67-68% rh.
That's fine. However, I recently smoked an OSO robusto and really enjoyed it. I plan on picking up more so I looked them up. The standard text for the Serie O includes:
"Puros should be aged at generous humidity levels (70-78%) to preserve
the natural oil."
How much difference will it make if they are stored 65-70%? Should they be stored separately at the higher RH. If so, will they need to be dry boxed before smoking.
Please help a confuddled noob.
