Humidor Temp solution questions
Hey everyone! It’s been awhile since I last logged in. I fell out of being a cigar aficionado a year ago but I'm picking it back up full speed and have a question on where and how to store my 50count desktop humidor to keep the temps at an appropriate level. (Yes, the stick has been applied to the dead horse). (TLDR is at the bottom)
I live in South Texas, so with summer rolling around, my temps are climbing inside the humidor when I am not home. During the day I have my AC at 80 because no one is home. Currently I store my humidor under the counter in my kitchen, so roughly ambient temps under there is ~76 - ~79 ish…. Fahrenheit. I didn’t want to try under the bathroom sink due to possible extra environment humidity. I do not have a basement.. Basically under the counter in the kitchen is about the coolest place I can think of in the house. – Anyways here is my solution I was thinking of doing and wanted to get feedback from the cigar experts. I’ve seen threads about wineadors and coolidors but I don’t have nearly enough cigars to do this nor the resources, at the moment, to fork up the $ to purchases multiple boxes of cigars, which is why I wanted to stick with my 50ct for now... So looking at the coolidor threads gave me a possible and hopefully, great Idea. For during the day, I want to stick the whole 50ct humidor inside a cooler AND I want to put an icepack that is inside a ziplock with a towel wrapped around it, inside the cooler next to the humidor. My question is – would this be a good idea or is this a horrible idea? I figure with the ziplock bag and towel, the icepack’s condensation wouldn’t cause any extra humidity so my humidor’s exterior wouldn’t be damaged. Remember the ice pack would not go inside the humidor, it would just be near it, inside the cooler. TLDR : I want to put the whole 50ct humidor inside a cooler sitting next to an icepack that is inside a ziplock and a towel wrapped around it, both inside the cooler. Thoughts? I know this may seem like one of the dumbest post you’ve seen but I am somewhat a newbie =P and still learning! Any other suggestions or thoughts would be very much appreciated... Thank you in advance! |
