Newb question

[Mr.Draned]

Hey everyone, quick question here. Be kind, I'm still learning all this stuff.
I received a couple CC's in a bomb the other day. First off, holy cow!
Now while I wanted to try one out immediately, my inner voice told me to hold off and let them rest a bit. Therefore, I tossed them in the tupperdor which has cedar planks, about 25 cigars, and one Boveda 69% pack.
Is it ok to store them at this RH?
Or should I put them in a smaller tupperdor with a different Boveda?
Thanks in advance.

you're good

 

[Mr.Draned]

Sweet!

Sweet!

i suggest changing to 65% boveda for the whole package

 

[TraderCigarCo.]

Should be fine... most guys i hear store their CC at 62%, but much of that is based on preference. You are a better man than I. I wouldn't have been able to wait! haha

I personally think 69% is to much. I'd change to 65% I'd it were me.

 

[Mr.Draned]

I'm hearing a few calls for 65%. Being that you guys definitely know what you're talking about, I'll pick up a 65% tonight or tomorrow.
@Alex Trader, it is not easy. Must...remain...strong...
Thanks!

The guy only had $5 yesterday and now y'all are making him spend it on a Boveda??? lol
So a 69% Boveda will generally not get up to actually 69%. It will range somewhere between 65-69. Like most 72 bovedas, stay around 68. At this point, you're probably going to tell zero difference in the cigar between low to mid 60's RH. I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe just dry box for a day before you plan to smoke it, to lower the RH a little.

Hahah, making me go broke! Kidding.
I have been doing the dry box method actually. So far no problems.
Thanks for the tip.

If you want to experiment, send me a couple and I'll stash them for you at 65% and let you know how they smoke

 

[Mr.Draned]

@Benjamin, send me your add...oh wait, I get what you're doing!

 

[Benjamin]

Darn...almost worked!

I keep 65s in my humi and my tuberdor and they seem to work out well

 

[herfdog]

I keep my humidor at ~70. CCs are normal here and pretty much every cigar smokers I know here aim for 67-70 and smoke CCs.

CCs like age. Don't rush it.
