I've always held that anywhere between 65%-78% is alright, and is mainly a taste preferance. Above 80, you risk the dreadful molds, and whatnot, and below 62, you start losing the essentil oils. on the drier side, the trend is for a more bitter, harsher smoke (which i kinda like) and on the wetter side, the trend is to be slightly less flavorful, and be more finniky about how it burns. If you had no trouble lighting it, and couldn't tell a difference, then great. I'd probably keep it a few % high, in order to keep all the essential oils. Personally, i like the almost sour notes that about 67-68% gives the cigars. It also depends on the types of cigars, but since i have little experience with varrying cigar types, i'll leave that up to somone else who knows more than I.
