Then, figure a week per 1%, and go from there

I like my sticks around 62%rh, so I let mine rest for about 3 months to be on the safe side before smoking.
This is a good idea.
I guess I'm less of a control freak, but from experience I give them 2 weeks. ROTT has been a gamble. A majority smoke all right, but I've had some that were over humidified.

That's pretty wild some take the RH down so low. I ventured into the low 60s but went back up around 68. I guess I have acquired it as the RH to lock in the true, original flavor and potency. Maybe I'm just paranoid of doing damage. Idk.
