Well you can start by not worrying about it too much. A temp in the mid 70's is totally fine and 99.9% of the time will not lead to anything bad. When your temp starts to hit 80 degrees, then worry a little. Seriously though, your cigars will be fine as long as you keep the temp below 80 and keep your humidity in check.
You could always invest in a cooler. Not as astatically pleasing but will give you peace of mind.
i spent 2 weeks with temperatures pushing 80 and all i did was worry about my cigars to the point where id wake in the night and have to check them because id had a dream about beetles lol
Whats the lower end of the cigar temp scale? Will they be fine at 60?
When you start getting lower in temperature the air is typically drier. You will need to be careful that your sticks are not drying out. I think it will be hard for you to maintain 65 to 70% RH with temperatures near 60 or less.
I'm bringing this back from the dead to ask a similar question. I have been working on my basement for 2+ years and am nearing completion. When I get a chance I will post pics in another section. I have put in a built in wine closet where the temps stay between 55-60 deg. Can I store my cigar humidors inside the wine room? Will that be too cold for the cigars and humidity?
