Lowering humidity.

[wilddul]

I have about 40-50 sticks in a small tupperdore. They are sitting around 70% humidity. I want to get them down the the low 60’s. What’s the best way and approximate how long would it take? I’m not sure how long cigars hold their humidity.
Thx

From my veryyyyyyy limited exp I would throw in 2-3 62% boveda.

A little more information is needed. What are you using for humidification, do you have a digital or analog hygrometer, and have you done a calibration test

What's the ambient humidity...??

Currently I’m using Boveda 65. I’m thinking my new sticks were higher humidify hence the upper 60’s humidity. I’m using a digital Govee that I just checked calibration. Ambient is 58.

If the ambient RH is lower than your target.....you could just bag the Bovida's for a while, and leave the container open for a few hours....??

Yep, probably have to close and open it a few times, then hopefully will settle in.
