So, why the switch?
Since I went to 65% a long time ago, at least in my area, I find that I don't have a mushy cigar problem anymore. 
You wouldn't think 4% would make much difference, but for me, it did.

That’s my problem. I’ve been having issues with them being too mushy. Plus I had way too many in the coolers. Every one says there’s no such thing as too many but after reading up a bit more from Boveda themselves I am cutting the amount of pals I put in also.

I think it would be a lot easier. I have 3 winedors with all boveda. 

I put a single 8 gram boveda in each cigar box.  This way, I can tell which parts of my tower might be running dry (wet is never a problem for me) and I can rotate them as necessary.  I'm not as money as Nick @Usaf06 yet, who just thinks of a cigar to detect it's humidity, but I'm working on it!

It won't hurt to go through that waiting process, but...  it should cure overnight and be ready.  IMHO, the waiting will be more due to the curing of the glue and less for the off-gassing.  Wood glue should be water-based and no danger to cigars as far as any flavors transmitting to the sticks.

I'll be interested to see what you think.
Personally, I'm really happy with my cigars at 65%.
I have far less draw and burn problems, than I did when I had them at 69-70%.

I, too, have fewer burn problems since switching to 65% but, even at that, I find my sticks smoke even better if/when the RH occasionally drops to 62%.

Volume 2

How are those compared to the originals?

Better, and the originals were great.

This tasty lancero courtesy of the very generous @Yakster.

Good idea to smoke early... Your Blackhawks are going down later tonight, son!  Wouldn't want you crying on the stub!

Prediction incorrect little brother. 🤔
Maybe I will smoke that Casa Fuente for a victory cigar. 🤩

I cried on my LGC this morning.....bit on another note @Guitarded...sounds  like you wanna bet a forum fiver on the next one...

Bought this on a recommendation from @Stubble... 

Tempted, but no room.
