Cigars holding RH

If they are in a fairly well sealed humidor... How long can they support a constant RH? Like in my situation I have a "150 count" glass top humi. It holds about 80 normal sized sticks. Thoughts?

    Theres a lot of factors... like outside climate, what rh, quality of humidor... assuming a good seal it really doesnt matter how full (until you open it).

    just imagine opening a full humidor to grab a stick. How much air escapes? Very little cause its full, and all those cigars are at a stable rh. They will still maintain their humidity even with an open lid (for a while).

    Now imagine you opwn a humidor to remove the very last cigar from it... how much air escapes? Practically all of your rh will escape with nothing but the wood and humidifer to rebound.

    With more sticks acting as a rh buffer, it is easier to maintain a stable rh when opening and closing. Long run rh depends on quality of humidor and your ambient rh.
