60% vs. 65% beads, I'd like to hear some opinions from both sides

JJG · 10-11-2012, 04:38 PM

I guess I should mention this is for several small tupperdors holding 50 cigars or so each. Leakage is not an issue, and neither is long-term storage. I am more of a smoker than a collector, so most likely everything in the humi now will be gone within 3 years.

Got 65% heartfelt. They run about 63% in the cooler and 65% in the humi. I'm happy.

I prefer 65% beads but mostly because that's what I've always used. Never had any problems with the beads, or with burn issues with my cigars.

Please expand. Is this based upon personal experience? What type of storage are you using?
