Yeah, the whole country shares your pain for the most part. 134 heat index in northern MN yesterday. A state record. Just crazy stupid.

75 isnt that bad at all for cigars.

When do you have to worry about beetles? I have heard they start hatching at 72 degrees. Are they really a concern if you buy from reputable dealers like ccom?

80 with an rh above 70.
just keep the rh down and all will be good. 65-68 and youll be fine.

your bigger concern is not so much the dealer but the manufacturer.

all the better ones fumigate or freeze.

I've been hitting 100 at 10 A.M., 108+ by 2-3 P.M. My A/C struggles to stay at 77 during the heat of the day.

Thanks Kuzi. Good info to know. I have been worried about my humi going over 71.

I also have a winedor and have been very happy with it. The temp gets around 80 in the house during the day and my cigars are resting in a blissful 66/68! I am in the process of building my own Spanish Cedar shelves and would encourage every cigar smoker to invest in a winedor! I've paid about $150 for everything and will have space for at least 100-150 smokes! AND...its temp/rh controlled to boot! I almost want to make a HUGE winedor the size of a fridge but my wife would kill me.

It's the same here bro. It was 105 the other day. I wanted a cigar but it was to hot during the evening. I stayed up until 1AM just so it was cool enough to go out and enjoy a cigar on the porch.
