RH Circumstances

[Demuths1770]

The issue is that you have to take into consideration the ambient temperature and your RH%.

I mentioned it in another thread, but I'll mention it again here.: 70% RH at 70 F is not the same as 70% RH at 80 F. There is going to be more moisture in the air at 80 F, because warmer air "holds" more moisture VS cooler air. In other words, you're still holding steady at 70% RH, but it's 70% of more moisture!

Were the sticks that had burn issues stored in that fermentation chamber? If so, then yes, I'd try a lower RH. Want me to mail you some 65% Boveda packs?

if your using boveda this wont matter if its 70/70 or 70/80 because boveda adjusts to the moister change from the temperature change. thats why Boveda is so great. literally set it and forget it lol. if your are storing in a environment that is in the 60s @rodwha the boveda will just have to work harder to keep the RH higher in the cooler temp than but it will still be the same RH. in theory a typical tupperdor is not a constant temp because as the day passes there is small fluctuations in temperature. morning and night being cooler and day being warmer. i have seen my temp flex a few degrees but RH never changed with it

It will maintain the same Relative Humidity, but there will be more moisture in the air if the temperature is higher. That's why 80% humidity when it's 85 F out like it can be in Florida in the summer feels awful, but if you were to be in a cold environment at 80% humidity it would not feel nearly as humid.

Relative humidity in the air is what's important when it comes to maintaining the moisture content of the cigars. If you want your cigars to maintain a constant moisture content, then you want a constant relative humidity.
