Humidor Temperature

JJKJR · 08-26-2011, 01:46 PM

If you live in Florida (like I do) how do you keep the temperature of your humidor in the low 70's as suggested. Even when home with the A/C on, the best I can do is the high 70's. During the day with the A/C up to 80 I bet the humidor temperature goes up also. Although I've never had a problem with beetles, the more I read, the more I get concerned. Any advice?

You could freeze your cigars.

You could get a vino/edgestar.

I would recommend both.

Also, keep your Humidor away from windows and exterior walls. I got about a 5 degree temp difference doing this.

Being down here in Cuba my temps are a bit high as well. Especially when the power decides to go out for a day and inside temps reach high 80s. I have not had a problem yet. I do segregate my new cigars for a while in my tuperdor before releasing them into the gen pop.

How long you keep them in the Tup?

The current pull has been in there for about a month. I have no clue what the gestation period is for the beetle, but no signs yet.

Vino/Edgestar did the trick for me.

Reading this forum has made me adopt a 100% freeze policy before my sticks hit the box.

tupperware is how I kept my smokes while I was depoyed. there was no temperature control out there except for the freezing them when I first got them.

Are you trying to breed beetles or prevent them?

A vino will work wonders

Tbagley · 08-28-2011, 07:22 AM

Walk in closet that is a/c vented and keep the closed. Keeps them right around 73.

I run into the same problem no matter what I do or where I put the it stays around 77. Mines a glass top and I try to throw a rag or paper over the glass and it helps a little bit. My coolidor stays at low 70's

Blak Smyth · 08-29-2011, 09:58 AM

Mine stays at about 68 but when we had a power outage this weekend it slowly started creeping up toward 72, I was more worried about my cigars than the food in the fridge.

So...am I correct in thinking that if I put my humi into a wine cooler frig to keep the temp in the 65-69* range, as long as I keep current on my Puck beads the RH will not fluctuate like a yoyo? It will remain stable???

Inside your humi remains much more stable than the air in your vino.

I store humidors INSIDE my vino, relying on the vino to take care of the temperature. I monitor the humidors inside for RH.

Or, to answer your question succinctly, "yes"
