60-65% is the preferred RH used for long term aging and storage of cigars for this reason, some people prefer to smoke at 70% but they taste sour to me when they are that high and they will often get mould. I’ve got cigars in storage at 60%, some for well over a decade and they have never had any mould, even with no airflow.
