This is all imo of course. No proof for what I just spouted out either.

Marvin Shankin of Cigar Aficiando is the main culprit of the myth. He has spouted it so often for so long, people have taken it as gospel. Kinda like their cigar ratings.
When folks ask me, I tell them anywhere between 55 and 70% is ok to store cigars but each individual has their own preference. And since it's subjective, there can be no "ideal" setting.
