Short answer: nope.

 

I store mine at 60-62%. No they shouldn't crack.
Cheers

 

awesome! Thanks guys!

 

That's ideally where I like to store mine. I find the burn better than when stored near 70%.

 

Carp were you just over in the Pipe forum and someone told you the RH for pipe tobacco is different ?
For cigars your numbers are good. FUZZY does both stick plus pipe so I might ask him .

 

It's good to know that my cigars a being humidified well! and i wasn't in the pipe forum, it must have been a similar username.....i could swear i wasnt in that forum but i may be crazy!:faint2:

 

I keep everything between 60-65rh. No cracking issues. As to what rh you'll come to prefer, that's just a matter of trial and error!

:lol: me too I might be crazy ! I'm home today and the campaign commercials are driving me crazy so I turned the TV on the 70's music channel now it's going on with phone, got Newt and senator Santorium and some politician from Ohio on the phone all reminding me to vote. The last one was Bob Barker no crap !!

 

Just right.

Nope wont crack at all.

 

Keep mine at 65% with no issues.

 

I've had no problems with my cigars being stored between 60-65%. Being north of 70% is when you should start worrying.

 

It seems anything between 60-70% RH is fine. Less and they may start to dry out. More and you risk growing mold. Where exactly you want to keep it is a matter of personal preference.

 

I like to keep mine at 60%

 

My humidor for ready to go smokes is kept at 58 - 61rh. And they couldn't smoke better!

 

I had a cigar last night straight from my B&M at 70% and it went out 7 times. A cigar I gave a friend from my 65% winedor burned perfectly to the end. I'm a believer!

 

No way! I went from 70% down to 65% (HUGE improvement) and a few months ago dropped down to 62% my cigars have never smoked better.

 

I like it between 64 - 66%, it seems like most people start their humi's at 70% and above, then slowly start dropping that number with time.

 

I keep my robustos at 62.978, my torpedos at 61.897 and my double coronas at 64.88275; but i'm not that particular.

You're kidding right!!! That's exactly what I use... except on the torpedos I go with 61.896. (I think yours would be a little too damp for me)

 

i have 65 percent beads in my desktop, i give them a spritz of distilled water when I get around 60%, sometimes it takes months to drop that low. Sometimes, weeks depending on the rh in my home.

I use kitty litter in my cooler, and the same idea, I spray it to 65%, then after a month or so when it hits 60%, I recharge them.

Do not knock yourself out, cigars are tougher than you think, and honestly the way they smoke should be your most important gauge.

good luck!

 

I thought I was the only one,but I usually keep the RH of all of my humidors less than 65%.60-63 seems to be the sweet spot for me:gossip:

True Dat

 

to the op, keep your RH as low in the 60's as you can, you'll thank us later
