From what I've heard, Temperatures below 54 impair the desired aging process, And, Temperatures above 75 raise the chance for infestation and rotting/mold. ( yuck)
Questions like these always intrigue me. Studying in a field of science and working in a field in medicine, I cannot help but wonder if anyone has conducted legitimate empirical experiments involving cigars, and beetles, mold, aging, etc. I would love to do such experiments. If only I had the funding...

That is interesting. Now at the moment, I can only read the first page of the article. But regardless of how well Crumb and Chamberlin researched this, it's very old and likely outdated. I have access to virtually an unlimited number of journals and archives, including Jstor, so I will go back and read the full article as well as other, more recent articles, in the near future. I'm curious as to how much research has been conducted and how the ecology and physiology of the beetles have changed.
