A humidor is a box for storing cigars or tobacco products; 72 percent relative humidity is ideal, but between 68 and 78 is acceptable.
70, 70 is ideal. 70 degrees and 70 percent humidity. 72 percent humidity would be considered a MAX for storage only. Many brands will not smoke at 72%. 68 to 69 % is preferred.

What should Room temperature be at to keep a humidor for cigars?
Most experts will tell you to stand by the rule of 70/70. That meaning 70 degrees temp and 70% humidity. This is difficult to do considering changes in temperatures and humidity. If one has a good humidor, and the proper equipment it isn't difficult to maintain. I would suggest buying a digital humidistat,a s they are much more accurate. I also use the "crystals" in a jar to maintain humidity. They are rather fool proof.....when you buy the jar, you simply fill the jar up to a certain level, and the soft crystals absorb the liquid....once the crystals shrink down to a certain level, you know to add more distilled water. One note: Try not to let the inside temperature of your humidor get above 85 degrees or you may hatch beetle larve in the cigars....these beetles will eat holes in your cigars and ruin every stick you have in the box.....good luck and enjoy!

How do you use a humidor?
A humidor is basically a special storage container. All you need to do is put the cigar in the container and make sure it is closed. For any storage more than a day, your humidor should also have a source of humidity and a gauge to show you what the humidity levels are at inside. It is also helpful to know the temperature since temperature affects humidity and high temperatures can cause tobacco beetle infestation. I recommend a digital hygrometer/thermometer for ease of use and accuracy. The gauge and humidification system that comes with nearly all humidifiers are junk. Look into jells, beads or for larger systems a 110v humidifier which uses only distilled water. A correctly regulated humidor will reward you with the fine smoking experience you are seeking.
Why would you dry cigars in humidor?
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.
