Personally, I prefer an RH level around 65%. I find that you get fewer draw and burn issues.
Hope this helps,

Hi Mark,
I started off by putting them in the freezer for a week and then transferring them to the fridge. The humidor maintained itself around 70% for a week and then dropped to around 65%. At 65%RH the smokes were a bit dry and harsh I guess its probably the high heat and low humidity in my area that requires higher levels of humidity to maintain the smokes. Anyway I'm currently using a shot glass to help my humidifier do its job and it seems to be working I think the problem may be as simple as having an under-sized humidifier.
Cheers,
Daniyal
