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!
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.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

I just stuff my winedors full of boveda. When they get hard I rotate them out and recharge them. Boveda takes the fuss out of it.

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

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'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%.
