Question
Will it damage my cigars if I put my desk top humidor in the fridge for a day? The wife and I will be out of town this weekend and she wants to put the AC up around 85 degrees so I was thinking of putting my humi in my fridge. What do you think?

Re: Question
I wouldn't think so if your humi is air tight. Therefore the fridge couln't suck out the moisture... I could be wrong, but that is my .

Re: Question
Your all good. Many people actually use a cooler or wine refrigerator to keep their cigars.

Re: Question
The wine fridges used are thermo-electric, not with compressors like a normal fridge. I wouldn't risk it.

Re: Question
Should be no problem. If you think your humi is not airtight, you could always wrap in a plastic wrap to restrict airflow but I think that is a bit over the top.
Enjoy the weekend! |

Re: Question
IMHO, one weekend @ 85 wouldn't hurt the stogies anyway. I've left my dog rockets in an un-conditioned apt for a solid week at time, and they did not get any worse.
Remember, 70/70 is an ideal, not a hard&fast rule. We're talking cigars here, not vaccine. |

Re: Question
I have a desktop sitting in a fridge at the house we're getting ready to move into. It's been there for about a month and a half now. I've recharged the beads once in that time, and the cigars are just fine.
I plan on leaving it there for another month before making the final move. No worries here. |

Re: Question
Just make sure you don't subject them to open bowls of onions, garlic or other aromatic items. Cigars have a tendency to absorb oders quickly. Blech!

Re: Question
I would say the fridge would work. I had to turn on my vino today at the temp in the basement read 71. Now my cigars are basking in 66 degrees again and 65 % humidity.
