The Best Relative Humidity %?

stern112

Hey Folks--  I have been "Cooking" my sticks at around 70% RH in my Humidor.  I have recently read some articles online that state 64-65% is much better.  Thoughts?

I tried searching this for this on the forum with no luck....so I am sorry if this topic has been discussed in previous threads.

When it comes to RH levels in your Humidor it really comes down to how you like your cigars when you smoke them at different RH levels. I have a desk top humidor that i keep as a rotation Humidor that I keep between 60 and 65% RH. I have a cabinet that I have for long term aging and I keep it between 65 to 70 RH. I feel that for aging they do better at around 70% and cigars smoke better at around 65% IMO.

my humidors are at 65% at all times. they just smoke better. I rarely get burn issues.

I second that. Kuzi is dead on (as usual), when I switched mine to 65% I got a more consistant smoke.

Seems as if I keep it at 65-70%, that should be ok....

stern- If you hang around you'll find out theres a lotta kiddin and joking around with one another as well as the wealth of info that is shared by a great group of guys on this forum. Nothing is intended to step on anyone's toes or offend , this joke is as old as i am and in no way insinuates someone should be unfaithful to their spouse, girlfriend or significant other. Please take it in the context it was delivered, just something to make someone chuckle and break up the stress/boredom/work of the day.

And, by a w-i-d-e stretch of imagination, in the proper forum as well. Don't be offended by anything you read stern. I am sure it was funny is gmill's head. ( I have seven sister-in-laws)

wow, I wonder how this came about from the thread? sick bast*rds around here..... Anyhoo I'd say the best answer would be whatever smokes well for you. 68% seems good for me. up or down 2 or 3 is fine as well. That's what mine stays at and I like the results.
