My feelings exactly.

If you like the way your cigars are smoking, who cares what the number is? And unless you have an extremely high end laboratory grade hygrometer, all the measurements as well as calibration are approximations at best.

I strive for 65% but as long as I maintain somewhere between 58% and 70% AND I am happy with the burn/draw, nothing else matters.
