equivalent cigar humidity please!

I have seen some excellent work done by some members on the humidity-temperature-cigar humidity question.

I wanted to see if someone could translate the following for me: what relative humidity would equal the "cigar humidity %" of the 70/70 rule at a temperature of 80F?

 

Many thanks!

Check this video, the part with the graph:

 

RH goes up, cigar moisture content goes up.

Temperature goes down, cigar moisture content goes up.

Roughly change in temperature of 15F, results in 1% moisture content change in the opposite direction.

Roughly 5% change in RH is equal to the same change.

So 70%/70F would be roughly the same as 75%/80F.

Assuming the graph data holds.

Again the ratio that pigfish gives is 3:1 ratio between temperature and RH.

I am not sure how much if at all this holds below much below 65F though.
