Don't know why not. It's the temp/RH you have to be concerned about. Thus maintains 67 degrees/70% RH like a charm. It might not be the most optimal conditions for the vino, but I can live with that.

I believe the general consensus is that the cigars would be fine but you could run the risk of certain flavors being imparted into the wine through the cork (from the cigars). And now that I'm thinking about it again, I don't see why this wouldn't hold true if it were reversed. Meaning some flavors from the wine could impart into the cigars through the cork.

Short term probably no harm but over longer periods of time I'm sure the effects would be greater.

Great looking drawers though

In theory, I could understand this, but I don't think this would happen. In order for you to have seepage from the wine bottles, you'd have to have conditions that would permit it to occur. My understanding is that it would call for high temperature/low RH conditions. With RH being high, the cork will be swollen and not permit this to happen. While the theory explains the risk, the actual science and conditions within the controlled environment wouldn't permit the above scenario to happen IMO.
