In short...I bought 65% heartfelt beads. Should I have bought the 70% or am I ok?

Personally, I prefer the 65% over the 70% beads. 70% rh makes my sticks just a bit too damp to smoke well for me.

65's will do you just fine. I find 70% in my humi to be too wet.

beautiful. I saw that they had 60, 65 and 70% and I went with the middle of the road. Then I see a couple of things saying that any good cigar company keeps their humidor at 70% or 70/70 and I started second guessing myself.

65% and 70deg or less and life's good.

is there any problem with keeping the humi at 70 humidity?

Nope, it'll just make your cigars a bit 'wet'. A wet cigar can either grow mold more easily, or more likely will simply produce a cigar that has a tight draw.

If you're finding that your 70% cigars are drawing tight, just 'dry box' them, meaning simply set them out of the humidor in the room about an hour before smoking.

I bought 65% beads for my coolerdor and found that my coolerdor stays around 68%-70% all the time. Makes me think I got 70% beads by accident. Beads have been in my coolerdor for about a year now and I put weather stripping around the lid of the cooler to help seal it.

65 is tits.

I like very strong/full cigars which often times means corojo wrappers. Those wrappers do much better with a little less humidity (not that 65% is "dry" by any means).

I prefer 65% also....70% is slightly too damp IMO
