Temperature Question

[njsarge]

Hi,
I have had my humis in the basement all summer which kept my smokes at 70% 70 degrees all summer. I know the temp will drop in the basement when the winter comes. How low can I let the temp go before the smokes will get ruined. I am just worried about fluctuating temps messing up the wrappers, ie cracking or peeling.
thanks.

dont let the cigars freeze. myself, i would be comfortablw with temps as low as 50. also, watch your hygrometers. keep your humidity levels normal.

Thanks Ron. I don't think they will go below 50 degrees and I will keep an eye on the humidity.

Hey Ron,
Sorry to resurrect this post. The humidity in one of my humidors is sticking at about 64%. I plan on keeping my humis in the basement for now. My house is about 72f, I may want to move my humis upstairs. The temps haven't bottomed out here in NJ yet. Would this harm the smokes? It is about a 10 degree difference from the basement to upstairs. Thanks.

should be no harm. again, change in temps will effect humidiy levels, so just keep an eye on your hygrometer.
