Don't you think that if you store a cigar at 68%, dry box it for a day or more, then you are smoking it when the RH has reached 64% or less? I would guess the RH would drop at least 4% in >24 hours of dryboxing, so what's the difference between that and a cigar stored at 64%? Not being a smart-arse, really curious about the logic.

I thought the same thing... I am curious!!!

I keep most of my sticks at about 65% and dry box smaller RG stuff for a day or so. Most of the time that works for me.
