Another reason why I like the 65 setting is due to the fluctuations you mention above due to temp - at times it could be 63 in there or 67, it does depend on the temp and what level the smokes are on in the larger unit. But these RHs are stil within the safe zone for storing and smoking. If I had 62s I’d fear I would see a drop to the high 50s which would not be good for my mental well being!
BUT setting up a 62 drybox will be an interesting experiment, and of used to dry your up and coming to be smoked cigars, it would work practicallyOnly the impossible is worth the effort.

All excellent points Greg/Alex.
I noticed such a difference when I went from 72 to 65 around 18 months ago that I?m curious if the flavours will be more/less pronounced with a drier stick. I suppose there?s always the option of dry-boxing to lower the RH prior to smoking too.

I know some prefer 63-62% for long term aging but there is always conditions which make the humidity go up & down & 60 & less will lead to brittle wrappers & will be rather dry in the middle (especially on larger RG's. I keep mine with 65% Boveda's these days & minor up's 7 down's don't cause any problems. I might dry box 28RG's before smoking e.g. LGCNo3's or RG Slenderella's but 32RG+ usually smoke fine @ 65%.Simon Bolivar: Liberator of Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru & Venezuela.

I think once you get to a cabinet active humidification is the way to go costwise

Hardly a fortune; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Full-Box-....c100005.m1851
Under ?30 for a dozen. I bought these last Sept & they are maintain three 5-7 drawer Humi's & four Cooladors. My Aristocrat has a cup of de-ionised water & a fan & maintains a steady 65 -68%. By re-charging the Boveda's before the hard crystals can be felt, they'll last for several years.Simon Bolivar: Liberator of Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru & Venezuela.

For smaller Cubans(smaller than robusto size)and short fillers(including NCs) 62% is high enough...any higher than that and you get draw problems and bitterness,New world cigars tend to burn and taste as they should do upto 70% i find,its the age old quality control problem with Cubans in comparison to NCs. Especially on sticka being too tightly rolled
