Most of what I've read says to keep the humidor between 70 - 75%. Perhaps 72 for
a typical digital that's +/- 3%. I did that and had some rather rank smokes when I got to the half way point. I forgot about a few sticks in a separate container that had dropped to about 65-67 for a while. Same brand as those rank ones. What a difference! Actually quite enjoyable all the way down with a great, even burn. Now for the question: Should I be storing them at 72% and smoking them at 67%? How long does it take for a 50 ring guage to make the change in a 65-67% humidor? Does the wrapper (Con. Sh., Camaroon, Maduro, etc. make a big difference? Are there any digital hydrometers that can measure the moisture
content about 1 1/2 inches into the filler? Does anyone have any better numbers to work with? BTW, the dried out Flor de la Reyes (under a buck) became a fair substitute for a VSG! At 72 to 75% it's a rank torpedo.
