65% RH or 70% RH - Which to Choose?

My humidity also hovers around 62-63ish. I’ve found this to be the sweet spot for me. Since lowering my humidity from around 70, 3 or fours years ago, I've had almost no burn or draw issues and smoking is lot more pleasurable. It’s nice not to have to relight every couple of minutes.

Living in florida, if the outside RH is in the 80's plus I try to drybox my sticks to about 55%. By the time I get halfway, the stick will be very close to matching the outside RH so it is an aboslute must. 70% is too wet most of the time. It's not too bad at corona and they keep theirs at 70
