I hear/read a lot of people will keep their maduro's at a very low RH or dry box them a day or two before they plan to smoke them. My humi that I usually store my "next in line" for smokeing is quite a bit lower RH then my other humi's or coolers and don't seem to notice a problem.

Cigary

Being a maduro person what you are finding is accurate...the wrapper tends to be thicker so to balance the right RH all through the cigar is going to take more time in the humidor. Just because we put our cigars in the humidor doesn't make it an instant humidified stick....it takes time to get it balanced and I usually keep my maduros at the same RH that you do. The thinner wrappers tend to humidify quicker for the reason we should expect and hence are ready to smoke within a few weeks. Since we don't have an instrument that can measure RH from the foot to the head as far as RH it becomes something of our own experience.
