Not at all. Before I went to mass storage, I used to use 65% tubes in my desktop to keep it around 62%. It's all just personal preference really as far as humidity goes. And I'd encourage you (and anyone else who hasn't yet) to play around with different humidities in the 55-70 range and see if you find one you like. Cigars don't have to be kept at 70% all the time--some people, including me, find that too moist for many cigars. You may also find you like some cigars at higher RHs and others at lower RHs. You might also notice a difference between humidity from passive (beads) and active (humidifier) sources. But, regardless, the experimentation is part of the fun of the hobby--or at least I think it is.
