Question...temporary conditions of 75F or 45F?

[daboose]

While I ready another cooler (~6days), should I keep the boxes in the frig (45F) or room temperature (75F)? They’ll be in zip locks with beads or Boveda’s 65%.

Thanks!

I would go room temp. i don't like cooling my cigars for lengthy periods. Wrapper damage and so forth.

Personally, I would go with room temperature.

After all, cigars survive the Cuban climate for a lot longer than a few days.

45 degrees in a fridge might mess with the internal/external humidity balance in the cigars,

which risks cracking wrappers or worse when lit.

Besides, the less drastic the variations, the better.

Good advice. Thank you.

Fridges really should be avoided at all costs excluding a brief period of "thawing out" for those who freeze their cigars as protection against beetles.

Totally agree with the Pez on this. Avoid fridges whenever possible.
