My main concern of course is beetles, but I closely inspect any sticks before they go in, is that good enough? I guess there is the off chance of an egg being rolled in the cigar....however, cigars are not temperature controlled on their journey from the store to my house.

Any prolonged temperatures of over 70 degrees and you are playing with the likelyhood of beetles. Find the coolest place in the house to help in the warm summers. Insepction or not, unless you are 100% certain every egg has been iradicated (unlikely by a simple inspection), I wouldn't chance my sticks at any temperature above 70 for a period longer than 24 hours.
