I try to keep my humi's at 65 RH and 70 degrees but whats safe for cigars....i changed location and put new beads in one humi and now the Rh is sitting around 60 rh while it acclimates and the temp fluctuates between 66 and 70 so whats safe?

I think the biggest issues are if the temp and RH would get too high.

Whats too low

That's perfect. :-)

Too low, in my opinion, would be under 55 degrees and under 55%RH.
I've read that some guys who long-store will get down around 55/55 on purpose, as it's supposed to "protect" the cigars and promote very slow aging.
That's not what you're doing, though. You're readying your stuff to smoke.

60-75 degrees and 60%-70%RH is all good in my book. I just looked at my winador beside me, it's at 70 degrees, 60%RH. That suits me fine. The big display humi downstairs is at 64 degrees and 66%RH. That also suits me fine.

You'll decide what you like best by how your cigars smoke. If they burn good and taste great at 65%RH and 70 degrees, then you, my good sir, have a winner. :-)

Thats what I keep mine at and I'm enjoying every smoke right now :-)
My temp flexes more than the RH but it never bounces all over the place usually 63-70, all depends on where I have my humi.

:-)

When I first started, I was anal-retentive about keeping it at 70-70 because that's what "they" say. I realized I liked how my cigars were smoking at the 63% area and have kept them at that since.

I think the main thing is that small fluctuations like that can be expected, but if you're getting drastic swings then it would be worth looking into further.
