You're better off keeping humidity closer to 60 than 70 anyhow. Safer and cigars smoke better. Don't fret fluctuations. Your house fluctuates humidity and your humidor is passive.

Especially here in FL.

When the heat kicks on for the year, the ambient RH in the house will usually drop like a rock. My Staebell keeps up very well, but you can expect some fluctuations as things settle down.

On the subject of RH, round up a hundred experienced cigar smokers and you'll get answers from 58% to 70%. It's personal preference, to be sure. My cabinet rocks between 65%-68% and my smokes are great.
