Hello, newbie here.
I'm a pipe smoker and recently I was introduced to cigars and love it. I have to admit that I inhale a little at the end of the puff, so I like medium body, creamy, complex cigars. Since last August, I have been watching many u-tube videos about cigars and I believe I have learned a thing or two.
I got my 100 count humidor which I duly seasoned with distilled water. Now I have access to pure propelene glycol which I use in a 50-50 solution in the humidor. It keeps mty cigars at exactly 70% humidity. I use a calibrated electronic hygrometer which I drafted from my violin case. I have a caliber 4 in the mail and I will be calibrating it in a zip-lock bag and the aforementioned 50-50 glycol solution.
Another question is that I live in Cuprus where temperatures reach 100 degrees in the summer. WhateveI do, the temperature is going to creep up to the high 80's. Will this destroy my cigars with beetles or there is something I can do to prevent any damage.
Please advise me.
Thank you for any answers ans also thank you for admitting me into this great cigar forum.
