Humidity? - Page 2

63% - 65%

SvilleKid · 10-14-2008, 11:53 PM

Well, I usually don't fixate on it as much as some do!! As a rule, mine stays pretty much between 60 and 65% with minimal effort on my part, so i just leave it alone unless it falls into the 50's. Usually doesn't take much to get it back in range.

Beads are wonderful things!

theonlybear4CORT · 10-15-2008, 12:08 AM

65% here + or -

Coz77 · 10-15-2008, 07:33 AM

62-65% Never had a problem.

I heart beads!

Clampdown · 10-15-2008, 07:38 AM

65% and holding strong in the cooler. My desktop is around 63%

stevieray · 10-15-2008, 07:40 AM

Low 60's seems to work best for me. I shoot for 61-64ish.

You must use one of Bob's "Set and Forget" also.

I'm almost always around 63% in my largest box, the smaller ones are generally 65%.

tsolomon · 10-15-2008, 09:47 AM

I have 65% beads, so I'll go with 65%.

10-15-2008, 01:28 PM

I keep mine around 67%.

I use the 65% in my cooler and the cooler for the Thursday night crew.

kaisersozei · 10-15-2008, 02:02 PM

Desktop is somewhere between 62-64% at 70*. Since switching to lower RH beads, I haven't had to drybox unless I pull from my cooler (which is at a rock solid 69/69.)

Ambient humidity in the house runs 54-60% in the summer. Gonna have to watch things in the winter, when it drops to below 25%.

Seanohue · 10-15-2008, 02:39 PM

65% and 70F

Still not sure what to do with my cello though.....

bobarian · 10-15-2008, 03:32 PM

Whatever the beads keep them at. I trust chemistry more than I trust these figidity

hygrometers.

Rabidsquirrel · 10-15-2008, 03:37 PM

I working on getting mine below 70%. I have 65% beads now, and I'm loving the change in the cigars. I think the last straw was the occasional jumps above 73% humidity.

skibumdc · 10-15-2008, 04:04 PM

65% and 66-67* so far this summer.
Vinotemp with cedar shelves and trays plus 2lbs of beads certainly help.
Have a separate fan inside on a timer to help circulate air and keep it constant throughout.

Solid as a rock so far.

BamBam · 10-15-2008, 04:05 PM

65%

Smokin Gator · 10-15-2008, 04:09 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.

10-15-2008, 04:23 PM

65% and i still dry box some cigars.

acruce · 10-15-2008, 04:28 PM

64% to 67%
