I keep mine around 65 - and that's just the beads talking. Like folks have mentioned, it's all preference - and some folks like to keep their ISOMs at a lower RH than other sticks.
As for the B&Ms - I think it's also the traffic - and how much/how long you keep the humidor closed versus constantly opening/closing it.
Look at that... I plumb got myself 5 raisins and 7 termites.

63-65%, especially for ISOMs. 70% leads to burn problems.

my 2 cents worth... 63-65%

my two humidors are sitting pretty at 64 and 65 rh. Then i have a tubador for my Isoms at around 58 rh

70%, is best. I live in a real dry climate. Must keep em high and go from there.

I lived in Vegas and I kept 'em at 65%. And FYI - your humi is meant to be a micro-climate, so the constant RH in the humi has little to do with how dry the air is outside the humi unless you keep the lid open.

Damn, Ive been keeping mine at like 73.
dude.
It comes down to personal preference..... We can arugh over what weight oil to run in our cars to. 5W-30, 10W-30. There really is no wrong answer to this question. Some guys like it around 65ish and some like theirs around 70ish. My beads keep my humidor at 68% almost all the time. That rh seems to work for me, so I dont mess with em.

Exactly. I was just saying that Sethie is wrong saying 70% is "best", or that higher is better. There is no best humidity. Find out what works for you and do it.
Also, some people's hygrometers may be out of whack, so that 70% could easily be 65% or 75%.
