I can attest to pulling them out of a 70% humidor and smoking them will bust a few wrappers. My long term coolerdor has 65% beads and I can smoke them without tempering. I usually pull 5 or so out and put them in a small table top humi without beads. They are good for a week or so as I smoke them.
I'm looking at dropping to 65% beads in my humidor too. I'm not finding a valid reason for keeping them at 70%.
