All,

Greetings....getting my humi set. I have read and seen different percentages for humidity. What is the standard? Is between 70-75% ok? Thanks.

Best setting for a humidor is temperature BELOW 70 degrees, usually between 63 and 65 degrees and Relative Humidity about 65%.

Too warm and you may hatch out beetles, too cool and the cigars just will not age properly.

Too moist and the cigars will explode when smoked, too dry and the oils tend to dry out corrupting the cigars taste.


Doc ***** Tobacco is a filthy weed, I like it...
