I use 65% beads. Haven't tried anything else but havent had any problems so I'm sticking with them.

65% was what was recomended to me on here. 65% is what I use.

I did use a Cigar Oasis, but with ambient humidity here in the summer jumping well over 80%, I made the switch to ....

65% BEADS

Lets do a poll on humidification methods.

I use 65% beads in my desktop Humidor and my Coolidor.

I use 65% beads. I just switched from 70% about 2 weeks ago. Ive noticed a big change in both taste and burn. The cigars taste much better and im not messing with the burn the whole time. I dont think my cigars are even fully charged to 65% I think they still may be a little over so hopefully theyll get even better.

In my desk top I have some 65% beads and two 68% (I think) boveda humi packs. Keeps it right about 62%. I probably use less than they would suggest but it works for me. Also, those boveda packs are actually easier than beads. You litterally do nothing. When they get a little dry, I toss them in the cooler and replace them with one of my extras. After a week or so in the cooler, they are recharged.

In my cooler I now use 4 jel jars. In the basement this keeps at about 60% and RH at 74.

A little wet for smoking but great for aging.
