Cold Storage Question

jadelt

I am about to button up the summer cottage for winter (in Montana) and I do leave the heat on about 45 or 50 degrees. Question....... what will happen if I leave a few cigars in my humidor (with beads) for like 4 months with the indoor temp at 50 ? I was thinking of leaving some because we do go up in winter for a week or so. Any harm done to store sticks in the humidor at 50 degrees? Thanks !

I wouldn't...4 months is a very long time for unattended beads....50 degrees is also not ideal...when you go up just bring some smokes with you...

I wouldn't do it.. You may be disappointed when you finally get back to them.

Yup the beads won't hold out nearly long enuf.

Thanks for the info..... I will take them all and bring some back when we go in winter. I was hoping the beads would keep in a completely unopened humidor. Good to learn this stuff.

I think even in most places, even in the spring or summer when there is much more humidity in the air 4 months unattended would still be too long...they r pretty much work and hassle free but still need some care about once a month maybe 2 stretching it....a full humi will help holding the humidity...
