I enjoy mine at 66%...the reason it takes a couple puffs is because the humidity is built up so high in the tobacco that the cigar will die out on you almost completely and those 2-3 puffs will make it re-light itself like when you first lit the cigar causing the bitterness of partially burnt out tobacco to make its way through the cigars
The humidification setting of a humidor is a sticky point and I think people forget that we all live in different climates. This means when you take your cigar out of the humidor what happens depends on the outside humidity. I live in an extremely dry climate. 0 – 25 % in the winter and 25 – 50 % in the summer. I like to keep my humidor a little higher than most of the experts would advise. I gauge my humidity on how my cigar smokes and feels….a number is just that a number. If your cigar keeps going out drop the humidity if your cigars are unwrapping, splitting and feel dry bump it up. “ It ain’t rocket science”.
