I think you are referring to "dry box". 70% is the recommended humidity level for storage . The problem is for some cigars that is not the best humidity for smoking... some will barely smoke at 70%. The idea is you have two humidors, one for long term storage at 70% & one with no source of humidity. Depending on your smoking needs you keep a few in the "dry box" which will keep them protected and let the humidity level down gradually. There are as many opinions on this as there is smokers... I smoke everything I buy so I try to keep my humidor at 67 to 68%. It is helpful to have 2 separate humidors. If you have a humidity spike, you will still have something ready to smoke. Part of the intrigue is the science of the "perfect" smoke... enjoy.

How do you fix stale cigars?
Stale cigars should be placed in a humidor and kept at a 70% level of humidity . Cigars only have one life. If allowed to dry out or become stale, the oils dry. From that point on they are no more than rolled tobacco leaves. They can not be brought back.
Can you put different cigars together in on humidor?
It depends on the cigars. Some of us do, others do not. If you smoke flavored cigars like Lars Tetens and Acids, don't put them in the same humidor as your Cohibas and Punches if you don't want all your cigars to taste like Lars. I wouldn't put really powerful cigars in the same humidor as mild cigars, because the mild cigars will absorb the flavor of the strong ones. But as far as putting...oh, Partagas and Punch together...no real problem.

If your humidor level is high should you just leave the humidor open?
as far as i know that would be a risky move as your environment could change and damage you cigars. i would suggest taking your humidor in to a teck. or figuring out how to change it levels. you could put your cigars in a plastic bag or other air tight container(i have a tall glass jar) and putting a clay tab(like in brown sugar bags) in with it, so you don't have to take them with you.
What kills mold on cigars?
Once you have mold you pretty much need to start over. Every cigar in the humidor will be affected. (infected) You could try leaving the humidor open for a week or so and giving it a light sanding and re-humidify it with out cigars for a week or two, then test it with some expendable cigars to see if it ruins them or not. Use a digital hygrometer and the crystal jars not the sponges with water. It make it easier to regulate and keep the mold away. If the humidor is a cheapy, I would toss it and start over.
Will cigars mold in aluminum tubes?
