If you are just moving boxes around for a half hour or so, I wouldn't worry. If you plan to go longer than that, then I would by some large (2 gallon or larger) zip lock bags for holding them while they are out, provided you do not have a cooler handy.

Tap water has different amounts of minerals and sediment in it in different locations. So, it may leave a residue on the heating element or on room surfaces ( for humidifiers that don’t use heat ). Or not. Try it and if it causes a problem for you, switch to distilled.

Cigars are very resilient, sitting outside the cooler shouldn't be an issue in most cases.


Merry Christmas!
