Quick question; Should I be storing my Fabrica5 smokes at 69% like other New World cigars?

I think most people do. For me, they’re pretty much the only NC I own, so they go into the same conditions as my CC.

I store all my New World cigars at 69% rh.

A couple weeks ago I found an aroma de Cuba in my humidor that had to be at least 15 years old (had the red satin band on the foot). I decided to give it a go and it was quite enjoyable. I knew nothing of them really so I looked them up and found some good reviews. Incidentally, I went to my local shop to get some butane and saw that they carried them, so I picked up a Mi Amor and a Pasion. Looking forward to giving them a go.

I store everything at 65% now and I'm getting a much better experience. Thinking about 62% even though it's special order.

I go 65% for New World cigars and 62% for Cubans & Cuban-esque Hondurans. Experiment and see what you like!

I would give them at 3 weeks at least to fully acclimate to the humidity change before testing. 

I used to be a 70% guy before I came to the light – I find that my cigars are less harsh/acrid in the final 3rd with lower humidity. It's also worth noting that I don't really own any sticks from the DR, so I can't speak to those.

I used to store NCs at 65% and then realized that they don't taste like NC cigars- at 69% they taste like NCs, especially Padrons.

Same here. 69% is way too humid even for NW’s imho.
