Puffin Problems

Another key here is the relative part. You want to maintain a temp of at or near 70 degrees, as in temperature fluctuations cause humidity swings.

Storing them at 69 is fine, but smoking is another issue. A seperate on deck box with 62's or 65 would help too.

Bunch of great advice here. I store most of my NC's in coolers at roughly 65RH and 65F, with a little variation due to time of year. I also have a 20ct tupperdor with 62 Bovedas from which I grab the cigars I want to smoke. Like others, I find 70RH too wet, usually resulting in bad burn and bitter flavors.

What I find odd is that I hadn't had any issues before, and the 70% Xikar solution was shown to get as high as 72% RH. However a 2 month old cigar wasn't had very often as most were smoked from ROTT to within that time frame.
