What the hay right, it's friggin' IN in the middle of summer... why not. But seriously call before you dig!

Do you have a house built on a slab? If so, the slab should be relatively cool. Put the humidor on the slab and a Styrofoam picnic cooler over it.

It's been a hot summer, and my slab is at a constant 80 degrees. If I'm going to have money in cigars, I don't want to worry about them. I'm good at worrying and a couple of hours in the backyard will be worth the trouble. Actually, it will be fun!

I'm used to cellar temps for wine and beer, so it makes sense that cigars would prefer those temps over the 80-90s of July and August.

The plan, so far, is to use a 4' long section of 8 or 12" dia. pvc with a solvent weld cap on the end. Dig a hole and insert. I'll figure out a locking cap or maybe just use a screw cap and hope that none of the local cigar smoking kids find my stash!

I will talk with a local supplier of pvc, etc. today. I may opt for a larger diameter pipe if it makes sense.
