    65% is a good place to be IMO and where many here keep their cigars. Some prefer lower at 60-62 and some prefer 67-68.

    Keep in mind two factors:

    1. Where you live matters. Cigars resting in Florida will be different than ones in Maine. You should adjust based on your weather.

    2. Humidor seal. How well your humidor keeps is very important. Most cheap humidors built by machines overseas don't hold a seal well. The humidors I have, most of them, are made by Michael Dixon and only need to be maintained once a month (sometimes two if I open it enough). Now, I have other humidors where I need to maintain it about once a week.

    Overall, I personally prefer 68. But, each person is different and live in a different climate.
    Puffing away since the early 90s. Still going strong.
