    He doesn’t store them at 40* and lower. His wine cooler is able to adjust to different temperatures.

    are you always suppose to keep it in the fridge? or just in a special season? and whats the reason for keeping it in there….i thought its suppose to follow the 70/70 rule.

    Wine cooler idea came to me when I realized my regular humisor is reaching 92 degrees which is really bad and allows the cigar beatles to hatch and ruin the cigars. I purchased the wine cooler to keep the cigar around 67 degrees and 70% humidity. I added some cedar boards to provide the nice aroma like a humidor. Remeber the wine cooler must be thermoelectric not to suck out the humidity.

    Ok,Thanks for your video; I installed an Avanti wine cooler yesterday with a Cigar Oasis XL Plus Electronic Humidifier. The temperature is 64F and the RH is 70% after 10 hours.

    What is the name brand of the smaller wine cooler that holds your desktop humidor? Do you have beads to catch the water drippings like you do in the Avanti?

    I went out and bought an Emerson 8 bottle wine chiller, and threw 2 lbs of beads, and Cigar Oasis, and two distilled wet sponges and I still get a huge variation at 62 deg between 57 rh and 65 rh.My unit has a self evap, and I cannot plug it. I noticed after looking at your video several times even with all your beads in yours. Your RH sits at 58, just after opening the door.I like to keep Habanos specs. 64 deg Far. Or
    18C and 70RH Are you achieving this with the Avanti, and your method?

    Why would you keep cigars, especially Cuban cigars, cold?

    Cuba is a warm climate, not a cold one. 68 degrees would be better than 62, no?

    in my experience they get a bit crusty when they are kept warm over a longer period of time

    yea – if you look at some of the “pros” in london – they keep really long term cigars ~55F

    62 is better than 68 in keeping tobacco beetles at bay. I have the exact same cooler and keep mine at 63°F/65%RH. No beetles = happy cigars.

    hi,are you interested in some cigar cooler?

    The main issue with the cool temperatures is that it is harder to keep humidity up. It shouldn’t cause too many problems to keep it cool although I personally would not do this due to aging of Tobacco. Most walk-in humidors are not refrigerated. My source? I worked in a premium cigar shop during my college years. Check out Min Ron Nee’s opinion on this.

    As for the beetles, some people freeze their cigars for 48 hours before placing them in the humidor. Again, this may damage the aging process.

    This is the wrong way to store cigars. They should be stored at about 68 to 70 degrees. Ask any tobacconist.

    You don’t know what your talking about. Cubans should be stored at around 65 degrees. My wine cooler goes up to 66 degrees and I never have to worry about anything with it, no beetles, no mold. Yes its true my cigars may age a little slower but there is not much difference between my 66 degrees and your supposed idea of 68 degrees.
