I personally think that 70% is too high and store mine around 65. I think that it is the RH differential that splits cigars, hence me having that issue occasionally in the winter when the ambient humidity is very low. I don't make any changes, I just deal with it the time or 2 that it happens in the winter. The temperature I am guessing also plays a factor in this.

The big thing for people who live in places that experience very high humidity is to ensure that you have a way of taking the humidity out if it gets to be excessive. This is commonly done with beads which both release and absorb moisture.

When I was in Cuba and the RH was extremely high I had no issues with my cigars.
