Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)

My humidor regularly sees 75deg+ inside according to my hydrometers.

Any issues here?

The heartfelt beads are keeping it at a solid 70% humidity, so no worries there.

Temps of over 75 degrees can lead to a beetle infestation. Most cigars are now treated at the factories and again at many domestic warehouses. But there is always a chance of a beetle or two finding there way to your stash after treatment. Many of us freeze our cigars before putting them in coolers or humidors if there is a chance temps will be high for an extended period of time.

Gotcha. Guess I'll start freezing them in batches to avoid that worry. Thanks!
