I think the seasoning packets are actually 85%.

If I remember correctly, the calibration kit comes with a 75.5% packet that is much smaller.

I think if you have a glass top humidor that does not seal well, you could probably use a 75% packet and just monitor the humidity. It might keep it closer to 70%. Also, they typically recommend using one packet per 50 cigars plus one additional packet. So a 100 ct humidor would actually need 3 packets, which seems a little crazy to me (that is a lot of space to take up and not to mention could get rather expensive).

I know when I used these, I would put two 69% packets in my 100 count and the humidity was usually closer to 65-66%.
