Personally, I do not have a large cabinet humidor or a walk in. I have a closet and the overflow goes into the guestroom.

The method I use is rather simple. I have a large thermodynamic fridge that can fit about 50 boxes of cigars. This fridge carries boxes I want to acclimate to my desired climate, which is 68/70. Some boxes I keep in there to smoke and to age in that humidor. But for 99% of my boxes, I vacuum pack them or wrap them, and store them at the acclimated temperature and preferred relative humidity.

Using pv=nrt, due to my pressure and temperature being constant, my humidity is held at my preferred setting. I keep a couple hygrometers in some vped bags to see, and have been very successful. Generally, I do 2-3 boxes a bag, so that any significant temperature will be absorbed and spread across the volume.

This allows me to skip the whole institution of freezing (and as unintended consequence minimizes risk of beetles), which creates intracellular ice formations which destroys essential oils (think freezer burns) - because the delta of temperature is too rapid in non commercial freezers.
