Thay'll be fine at 70 or even lower. I keep mine at 62-65%. But honestly I dont even have hygrometers in either my vinotemps or desktops. They'll be fine without the beads. After a week or so, if the Rh drops below 60 just throw the beads back in for a few days.

At the higher Rh(76) you risk mold forming. I rarely drybox my cigars, I find that proper storage eliminates the need to ever drybox.
