I am floored...

I could imagine a basement providing a stable temperature and humidity of 50 or 60%. In a crowd where we discuss whether we prefer 65% or 66%, that sounds terrible. But, it might work.

Agreed, depending on the area of the country...dark basement area...if clean, dry might not be a bad place to store your cigars. Even in Ky most months my basement keeps at 68F-70F and 55%-60% rh. I wouldn't blink an eye at my cigars being stored in those conditions. I'm not sure how NC would keep in those conditions but I would have little problem storing CCs in those conditions. Maybe not optimal but certainly not a crime against tobacco.

The humidity in a basement might be ideal sure, but it makes me sad to know that a box of Opus X (or any premium), which so much time and effort went into to producing, could be purchased and ruined by some idiot who probably just told the tobacconist "gimme the most expensive thing ya got"
