humidor beads. do i still need hygrometer?

[victory01]

I have one Digital Hygrometer for my Humidor and Coolidor. I mainly keep it in my Coolidor, and move it around to make sure I have 65% in different areas. I'd put it in my humidor if I'm about to add more Distilled water to the beads, just to make sure I don't put too much or too little.

I used to think 70% was a good level for humidity, but after a while, I prefer the burn and taste of the cigar with 65%. Hope this helps.

thanks! im just setting up my humi. i ordered 70% beads from heartfelt. i duno which i would prefer but i figure i can always let it dry out a lil if anything vs. the other way round.

i do plan on having cubans tho. is it gona be a problem keepin them at 70% or should i build a secondary lil set up just for them at 65%. ive heard a few people state that 65% is best for them and 70% best for other cigars.

can anyone validate this? i dont wana end up damaging any cigars my first go.

thanks
