RH 65% or 70%

[JStrider]

I like to keep mine 65ish tending a little over...

when I kept em at 70 I seemed to have my cigars split while Iwas smoking them and they tended to go out more and I'd have to relight a half dozen times.

What do you mean by split? As in the wrapper got a crack in it and would start to peal back? This is not caused by higher RH; in fact the higher the RH the less likely a leaf is to crack. Think of leaves on the ground. A dried up non wet leaf will crumble easier than a non-dried up leaf.

... but does it make a noise if no one is there to hear it?

the wrapper would crack kinda *shrug* it was back when I was first getting my tupperdor first setup, maybe it was something else... I get what your saying tho.

*shrug* they dont do it anymore and I dont have to relight as much... so its all good

I'll go ahead and speak up for 70%, since it seems to be in the minority around here.
I used to keep my humidor around 65, but switched to 70% (well, it stays closer to 68, but whatever).

I liked them both ways, but I think I like the smokes at 70% slightly more.
