Most people shoot for anywhere from 68-70%
Yes. A cigar case is often a humidor, but not necessarily. There are temporary protective cases for transporting cigars, but they are not meant for long term storage. Humidors are temperature and humidity-controlled, for long-term storage.
best humidity for dry storage
To properly store cigars, it is best to keep them in a constant temperature and humidity environment. Here are some methods for storing cigars: Humidor or humidification tube: Place the cigars in a dedicated humidor or humidification tube, which helps to maintain the appropriate humidity and temperature for cigars. Humidors are typically made of wood and provide breathability to the cigars. Humidification tubes are usually made of plastic and contain a humidity-regulating agent to help maintain proper humidity. Temperature and humidity-controlled cabinet: If you are a cigar enthusiast with many cigars to store, consider investing in a temperature and humidity-controlled cabinet. These cabinets have a constant temperature and humidity control feature, helping to maintain the appropriate humidity and temperature, and can store large quantities of cigars. They usually come with a digital display for monitoring the storage environment. Humidifier: If you already have a storage container, but it lacks a temperature and humidity control feature, you can purchase a humidifier to help maintain the appropriate humidity and temperature. These devices typically regulate humidity electronically or mechanically and can help maintain cigar quality. Regardless of the method used, it is important to note the following: Maintain appropriate humidity: The ideal humidity range for cigars is between 65% and 75%. Avoid humidity that is too high or too low, as this can adversely affect cigar quality. Maintain appropriate temperature: The ideal temperature range for cigars is between 18°C and 21°C. Temperatures that are too high or too low can adversely affect cigar quality. Avoid direct sunlight: Direct sunlight can dry out cigars and adversely affect their quality. Regularly check: Regardless of the storage method used, regularly check the quality of the cigars and maintain a constant temperature and humidity storage environment. In summary, to keep cigars in optimal condition, it is important to maintain appropriate humidity and temperature, avoid direct sunlight, and store cigars in a constant temperature and humidity environment.
The Paradigm Humidifier uses only distilled water is supposed to regulate the humidity when it gets to a certain level. It also has an agent to prevent molding, a common problem with some systems. I have no personal experience with this brand but have thought about trying it.
it depends on temperature and relative humidity of the storage
50-70%
Opinions vary on this subject among the avid smokers. I believe the majority of people leave the wrapper on until time to light it. The wrapper does not stop humidity from entering or leaving the cigar. It protects it and keeps dust off it.
The face of the CVS Picture CD states: "up to 100 years* of estimated storage life" "*storage life varies depending on relative humidity, storage temperature, and UV exposure. The CD jacket adds: "...To maximize storage life, store in a dark container at room temperature, relative humidity <40%."
Heat, and solar radiation. Humidity actually does too, but we're talkin' like equatorial humidity or like Florida in August.
60 to 80% relative humidity is enough for a fig plant for its proper growth.

The Greek tortoises are kept hydrated and maintained at proper humidity levels to help them grow into healthy adults.
