If you would run a fan, it would convectively cool the outside which should lead to some onductive cooling on the inside. How much, IDK. What do you have the temperature set at in your house? Reason I ask is that my humidor is a few degrees cooler than the rest of my house. Also, you've probably already done this, but make sure the humi is out of any sunlight and preferably at the coolest part of your home. If your humidity is OK, the higher temps should not lead to beetles, but is still too warm for ideal storing and resting of your cigars.
The thermostat is set at 71 but only runs at night. I had my humidors on shelves in my closet and took them out. Now they have a ceiling fan blowing on them constantly but my temps continue to rise. I am getting close to 75 degrees now and am not sure what to do. They are out of sunlight.
There has to be a reason for your temp increase. I personally would not stick them in the garage as the drastic temp change could be quite the shock to the cigars. Plus, that would only be a short term solution, as it will be freezing before too long. Why not try turning your thermostat down a few degrees and see if that helps at all?
I placed them in my unfinished basement which is noticeably cooler but not freezing. The room has a vent. Like I said the only thing that has changed is the amount of cigars. We have the thermostat set at 71 degrees but we always have the ceiling fan going. The closet is usually cooler then the rest of the room. I might keep the basement door open so more air circulates through there.
So I put them back in my bedroom which is very comfortable and the temp goes back up to 74-75 degrees. It is not that hot in my house. IDK what to think. Is there a way to test the temp on these?
