Cc storage

[Farringtonr]

So what humidity do you guys store your cc at. I'm in central ny and I have 70% beads but people say go with 65% for Cubana

All personal preference brother. Some like "wetter", some like "drier". If you like how your sticks are smoking then stick with that!

I shoot for 65% but I'm happy with 63-66%.

I might do 70 in the winter and 65 in the summer

Can I ask why?

65% means 65% regardless of the time of year. OUTSIDE of your humidor, the % is changing.

I first started with 70% Heartfelt beads but some sticks had burn issues and i started getting a little mold on the cedar wrapped sticks. I changed everything out to the 65% beads and all is good now. Cigars are smoking better and the little mold I had on the wrapper of the cedar wrapped sticks cleared up as well. So for me it will be 65% beads from here on out. I live in South Louisiana Im sure that had alot to do with it too but 65% has cleared all my problems so far.

62% for me

I keep my CCs around 60-63, they are smoking great IMO

63-65% seems the sweet spot for me.

I had my cigars crack when I smoked them at 65% but that was in a humidor and not a wineador. For a 18 bottle wineador do u think 1/2 pound is good or should I get more if I want to go the 65 route

Always thought that depended on how often u opened your humidor as well and that on more humid climates the humidity was easier to maintain than in more arid climates if you opened it frequently

61% - 64%

I generally keep mine set at 65% although that seems to range from 63%-67% all of which I am fine with. It depends on where they are at in the humidor.

As far as beads go I would get double the recommended amount on Heartfelts website. This will help with stability and faster recovery when you are in and out of your humidor. I used beads on my first humidor and found that using double the recommended amount seemed to keep better stability especially in the winter.

My theory is anything between 65-70. I try to keep mine right about 69-68. If its to humid 75 or around that then you may end up with a beetle problem in your cc.

60/60 in my long term aging humi that gets opened maybe 4 times a year (i inspect inventory once per quarter). 65% in my smoking humidor that gets opened multiple times per day. i would keep it lower but i just open it too much.

I'm at 65/65 in both vinodors. One is for CC's & the other NC's... as I get more into this hobby I seem to be buying more CC's to age and less NC's.

I can see one turning into long term storage in the not too distant future.

Humidity has nothing to do with beetles. High humidity can bring on mold, high temps can bring on the beetles.

 

[vivalanation734]

62-65 for me.

 

[KcJason1]

60-63

Remember the wetter the cigar the more muted the flavors..

That's why
NC 65
CC 60-63
