My rule of thumb is maximum humidity without mold. If your cigars aren't getting white and fuzzy, keep using the 69.

Quoted: Good morning, My humidor holds approximately 100 cigars. I currently have about 30 cigars in it. For years I've been using Boveda 69. It seems to work decent. I have a mix of Cubans and non-Cuban cigars. The electronic meter reads on average 67% humidity. I typically use two Boveda 69 packets, the large ones. Should I continue to use Boveda 69 or should I downgrade to either 62 or 65? Thank you The Brits tend to like their cigars a bit dryer, say 68%, Americans prefer 70%. In the end, it's totally up to you and your personal preference. Chris |

Set aside a few of your favorite sticks and try it. It definitely changed the smoking experience for me.

Depends on what you smoke in my opinion - mild CT stuff I’d say stay with what you got, med-full/Broadleaf stuff/etc I’d go with the 65’s so that you’d end up around 62-63%. My humidor is at 68°/63% and I love the way my stuff is smoking - most of my sticks are med-full though

I believe the rule is 135. Your temperature plus relative humidity need to be around 135. More than that and bad things happen. Also, plume isn’t real. It’s mold. I use 69s and they work awesome but I’m in the basement where it’s rarely over 65 degrees. 69rh plus 65* is 134 so I’m right on the money
