LOL! messing with you, Peter. I figure anytime someone throws out a temp or a humidity number, then we will see at least 15 or 20 different numbers thrown about.

On a serious note, I too agree that 75% is too high (Now I'm probably a trouble maker too!!):-)

You're right about the various preferences. I was just trying to help.
And you did a wonderful job busting my stones. :-)

I only jumped in and made a post so I could see how my new avatar looked. I really don't care about humidity. I usually just hang a piece of paper towel in the humidor. If it flaps freely when I open the door, it's too dry inside. If it is dripping water, then it's too wet. It's worked so far!! :-)

I've never froze cigars but have read lots of post on both sides. I've luckly never had a bug problem myself (knock on cedar) but I guess after an attack I'd probably change routes and start freezing incomming sticks.

My basement is 63* year round, I can't find a reason to bother.

Never froze any cigars. Mine are stored in the basement where it gets about 68 max in the summer and will slowly fall to maybe 58 at the lowest by mid winter.
Cigars on deck are in the den, gets warm in the summer but in the 12 years I have lived here never had a problem, could be I'm lucky, dunno.

As a point of reference, I once got a tour of JR's main distribution warehouse (Burlington, NC). They have a walkin freezer large enough to wheel a pallet into. But, it's not even close to be able to handle their volume. They said they rely on their vendors to deliver beetle free cigars. The freezer is for cigars outside of their normal sources, such as a closeout.

The only time I had beetle trouble was when I bought some sticks from a roller in Ybor City. But since then I freeze everything...

Do you ever have problems with your cigars going out?
[Reply]

I have nothing against freezing, but so far I haven't had the need to do it. Knock on wood.

we may need heat that up in January...
