For me, 72% at 60 degrees F and all Nicaraguan cigars. I think they taste best at that humidity and I also think they burn best. At lower humidity, I get wrappers to unravel or just be plain fragile. It is important to note this is at 60 degrees F. Since humidity is relative humidity (RH), as the temperature drops, the RH drops as well. I find that I need it more humid at the lower temperatures in order to not have dry cigar problems.

I disagree that humidity is the same in all circumstances since it's relative to temperature. If you have a room temperature humidor and your ambient temperature is 75 degrees F, you should keep it at a lower RH like 65%.

That's my two cents.
