Have my new wineador up and running like a champ and am in the process of tweaking the humidity level up to the desired level. At present, have it at 63% / 66 deg., which is pretty good for here in hot & humid Central, FL. I kept my wooden humidors at 65-68%, but liked the cigars closer to the 65.
What does everyone here prefer to keep their sticks at (humidity-wise) in their wineadors?

I don't have a wineador, but my coolidor is kept between 62-65%. I seem to get the best burn (IMHO) with those levels.

Preferred humidity is independent of the storage medium. Doesn't matter if it's a wineador, coolerdor, desk top, end table, cabinet, tower etc.
I prefer 60-63%

65%-67% seems to work best for me

61/62 RH & 68 degrees (CCs only in the wineador)

That is my preferred level as well. I do have a smaller hard plastic suitcase like one that holds 35-50 that I keep closer to 68% - 70% as when I buy some sticks across the border in WI they have a tendency to be on the dryer side so it brings them back a little quicker.

Wow Bob! You changed your RH -- the RH you kept rock steady for years! Last time you told us it was 60.2799%.

Yeah, I liked the way my cigars smoked but decided to say WTF and just let the Rh settle.

To me, all cigar humidity is relative.

Being a noob, I had a small desktop humi and used 72% bole packets, after reading through a lot of threads here and seeing quite a few respected and very knowledgeable people (peter and tom to start with) posting that their preferred humidity was about 61 - 62%.
I decided to go with that and as I didn't have very many cigars to start with, the change wasn't a concern but as the collection has grown I went with the beads and keep them right at about 62% and I'll be the first to admit they smoke much better.

Moved all of my sticks into the new home...humidity settled at 67% at 66 deg. after 24 hours. Will wait and see how all goes after a week or so. Very pleased with how well this set-up has come out.
