temp changes
 
Well, I've been in Colorado for about 2 months now and I'm sort of having an issue (or I think I am). The weather goes from 45F lows to 85F highs. This means that my house gets to about 66F at night and 74F during the day (with the help of A/C). My humidor goes through the same temp changes. Will this affect my cigars? I haven't really been smoking much these past few months, so I can't comment if any cigars are smoking differently. I'm running heartfelt beads at 70%....

No. Doesn't matter a bit.
Ideally you want things to stay stable over the long term if you're long-storing cigars, but if this is your smoking stock, it doesn't matter.
I've kept humidors in my shed and on the back porch through Spring, Summer, and Fall, through all sorts of extremes, and noticed absolute zero difference from the stable stuff in the house.

See, I was gonna say what Adam said and had to add a bunch of words and he beat me. "No" would have been sufficient. :D

The only concern I would have is the possibility of beetles hatching at the higher temperatures. If you aren't already I would suggest freezing your cigars to be on the safe side.

Yup. Freeze them according to the guidelines here and you should be good to go.

It takes sustained high temps(above 72-75) for eggs to hatch. A few hours over will not matter. If the temps drop below the range at night then they wont hatch either. :2
