As for adjusting the humidity based on high temperatures, anyone care to comment? In my head, I'm thinking a lower humidity for a higher temp. Higher temperature air can hold more water. If 70/70 is optimal, wouldn't it be accurate to say a higher air temperature at a lower humidity would contain about the same amount of water per a given volume? I keep my humis at 65%.
Yes this is accurate, hotter air holds more water. However, the physical amount of water in the air is not important to the cigars, the relative humidity is. That's why its called relative humidity, and not absolute humidity. The RH will determine how much of the moisture in the air is transfered to the cigars, or vise versa. So 65% RH is 65% RH no matter what the temperature.

65% is fine. A lot of people prefer it that way. Basically its down to personal choice like drew said.
