65%

I use 70% beads because thats the way I like it (steady 67-69% all day every day), although I sometimes run into problems smoking thinner ring cigars. Its really all personal preference so there's no wrong answer.

65% works best for me.

I've bought equal amounts of both, and then mixed them, and my rh stays around 67% - 68%

I have 65% and they bounce between 66 and 67.

72% (or 70 not sure) because it is Dry here so I fight keeping humidity up and it usually ends up around 67-70

Mine stay between 69-71% but I would like to try some at 65 and even 62.

I got a pound of 65%. Keeps the winedor about 67-68%.

I use 65% Heartfelt beads in all of my humidors, and keep them only partially charged, which keeps my relative humidity pretty solid at 63%, which is my ideal for smoking. I charge the beads in my cooler more, so they stay at 65%. A lot of the cigars I have been into lately (from... down... south... that island) tend to smoke much better at lower relative humidity, but it also keeps me from ever having had (knock on wood) a mold problem in any of my humidors.
