I'm rather amused by the irony of someone who berates a wineador, yet keeps his cigars in a refrigerator.

I find that wineadores are mostly eye candy and not really suitable for everyday cigar storage. I rarely smoke a stick out from any of those units. They just don't bring out the flavor I expect from a nicely prepared smoke.

Also, his comment about "second rate tobacco" leads me to believe he believes himself to be an authority on what constitutes first rate tobacco. I don't claim to be anywhere near an expert but I can guarantee you my opinions are different than his.
Maybe you've stumbled upon the author of the "Rule of Threes" :-)
Did I hear rule of threes? Time for my signature quote.

I don't keep my creme de la creme cigars as they usually go fast.
The "second rate" tobacco has its own storage indeed. In the lake behind my house where they are tossed if they suck.
I like to remind folks that most of his life in Cuba, my dad kept his cigars in an unsealed night table, with a sea sponge in a ramekin, and life was just dandy. Heck if they knew what a humidor was.
Store them any way you want as long as they don't get soaked or dry.
