Temperature

Being that the beetles are coming....I was curious if anyone has any ideas for bringing temp down in a tradtional humi. My cooler stays rock solid around 72-73, but my CC humi is runnign at 75...then up to 77 and it's freaking me out. So....anyone ever freeze a humi pack or drymistat tube to bring it down a bit? Looking for ideas, I've moved it to different places in the hosue to try to bring it down and it will only get hotter in the coming weeks.

Since humidity is much easier to control than temperature, I'd suggest focusing on that. Now if temp is way out of whack, like 80+. then perhaps an ice pack wrapped in a towel would work. Summers get pretty hot down here and I've had consistent humi temps well into the 70's and no beetle outbreaks in the past 4 summers since I've been into cigars...much like mold, beetles require temp and humidity to be a problem, or so I've read, so controlling one factor should control the situation.

Honestly the Johnny o's had me worried a bit, being as fresh as they are. Last year I only had 30 cigars or so at any given time...this year...just a few more than that lol

I went the Boveda route and have them with my CC's. In the next month or so, I will have a cooler just for both

I have an imperfect 120 ct humidor coming, picked it up for $40, that will be a dedicated Johnny-O! humidor. Will get some pics up as soon as it's seasoned and loaded.

Ive had a few humis in the past summers go as high as 80+ (nothing you can do about it out here in So Ca. unless you're crankin your AC 24/7) but kept the RH 63-65%. No Problems.

Thats why I love basements, pretty consistent here in the southeast!

I'm going that route. Just about seasoned and ready to load up.

Take them out a freeze them for 3 days. This is by no means guaranteed to work but it's supposedly affective.
