63%, and try to keep my house temperature below 70* in the summer.

66% when possible. I need a Vinotemp.

floydp · 10-11-2008, 10:22 AM

63% to 65% most the time. Slightly lower in the colder months.

SteveDMatt · 10-14-2008, 08:42 PM

I used to be a 70% guy. Now I hover around 63%.

elderboy02 · 10-14-2008, 08:59 PM

I have 65% beads in all my humis and my cooler.

BamBam · 10-15-2008, 03:05 PM

65%

Smokin Gator · 10-15-2008, 03:09 PM

The Vino is at 65% and my desktop is about 60%. I am acquiring another Vino and that one will be at 70% for aging. Not that I know... just following the lead.

65% and i still dry box some cigars.

acruce · 10-15-2008, 03:28 PM

64% to 67%

dannyboy · 10-15-2008, 03:37 PM

65% beads in mine so the RH remains rock solid day in and day out, temp is a constant worry for me though, as there is no AC where I live and temps range in the uper 70s and 80s most days. No problems yet though and my sticks all smoke great.

Footbag · 10-15-2008, 03:39 PM

My cabinet is between 63 and 65.

10-15-2008, 03:45 PM

I keep my cooler at 70 for aging. I only smoke directly out of my desktop which has 70% beads but stays 63-67 in fall/spring/winter. Will need to get a tube of 65 beads for next summer.

ucla695 · 10-15-2008, 05:07 PM

I keep mine between 62-65% RH. If they are a little too moist for my liking, I'll dry box for a day ot two.

NCRadioMan · 10-15-2008, 05:08 PM

60 to 63% for me. The house stays below 70 degrees year round.

The Dakotan · 10-15-2008, 05:08 PM

So, is it a problem if I keep mine at 80% and 80degrees?

I keep everything at 65% That's the beauty of beads.

MNSmoker · 10-15-2008, 06:17 PM

I keep the Vino at 65% and 65*.

Thanks Shilala for the awesome beads. Those HCM beads are incredible.

Buckeye Jack · 10-18-2008, 07:37 PM

Set and Forget comes on at 63% and takes it to 65%, so somewhere between that
