If it has a glass top, maybe 72%. It depends if you live in a wet or dry climate. Go to the Boveda YouTube channel and watch some of their education videos where they discuss selecting the proper humidity level. A Boveda won’t go much over their stated RH level. They will go under if your humidor is leaky or in a very dry climate.

Ideal RH is a personal preference. There is no "proper" humidity level. So to suggest 69% or 72% as a target it not necessarily good advice. I know many cigar smokers, myself included, who prefer their cigars in the low 60s.
