I am glad you asked that because our humidors keep dropping to around 65% which I have heard is just fine, but I am always worried because so many people say to keep them at 70%. I have seen a few guys on here that say they like to keep them in the mid 60s because personal preference for the taste. I have no answer to your question, but you kinda read my mind when you asked it!
I think under 55 would be getting bad. I don't know for sure but I'm sure Kuzi will jump in at some point. Mine stay around 60 to 64. Depends on what level I'm at. At the bottom of my cabinet it's a bit lower and the top is around 63. I like my cigars around 60 - 65. 70 isn't bad for lighter smokes, but I don't separate maybe one day. Have a dark cabinet and a light cabinet.
To add to what's already been said, I tried done cigars at 65 and then at 70. For me, some cigars smoked better at 65 and some at 70. I think 62ish should be your long term limit as long as you aren't spiking from 62 to 70 and back frequently.
Summer usually around 70%, winter I struggle to keep it 65% and it settles around 62%. Seems more stable in the winter but the ambient rh stays pretty low. In the summer it's up and down like a freakin yoyo so I put them in the basement, takes care of that. Tip from Diamondog.
