I don't stress to much about humidity in the PacNW as the seasons can create fluctuations. I strive for 65 but anything between 63 to 68 is what I get. Works for me.

62-65% seems to work best for me.

I think I can probably get a consistant 63-66% at my place almost year round without to much concern. It just seems like it's almost the ambient around here. As long as I have well set up humi-beads in the box I have had a pretty easy time keeping things right about perfect. |

I don't worry very much about it. Drymistat tubes and beads provide a good low maintenance system in my three humidors.

My Vino sits at around 62-66%.
I rarely have to drybox a cigar, but some would do better after a bit of it. It depends upon how long I sit with the door open staring at the monstrosity of a mess its in. Sometimes my house in mor humid and it raises the RH, but the beads do thier job and absorb the extra. |
