eejulieta Posted June 12, 2024 Posted June 12, 2024 Curious if anyone has any 'hot temperature' storage options such as a plug in electric coolerdor or something else? My apartment is generally 25°C or lower, but for around 3 months in summer it gets above 30°C and I'm worried about storing cigars at this temperature. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

mohammed.s.almutlaq11 Posted June 12, 2024 Posted June 12, 2024 Get electric humidor raching or anything else raching. It's good. 1
vvvendo1969 Posted June 13, 2024 Posted June 13, 2024 I do not recommend to storing cigars at temparatures above 20 degrees Celsius. I had very hard experience in the past when I worked in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. The temparature in my apartment was around 25 to 30 degrees Celsius. I stored my cigars (5-6 boxes) I brought from Japan in the room. After 2 weeks, I found that mold was growing on the surface of all my cigars. Now I live in Tokyo Japan where it is very humid and hot in summer therefore I store my cigars (about 30 boxes) in my wine cellar at the controlled temperature of 14 degrees Celsius. And I put all my cigars into Ziploc style bags (I use double bags) with a 69% Boveda pack. 1
SUP8333 Posted June 13, 2024 Posted June 13, 2024 For affordable options, you can either buy a wine cooler and use tupperdores/cedar boxes + boveda packs or just buy a electric humidor where the temperature and humidity is controlled. 1
Socrates Posted July 7, 2024 Posted July 7, 2024 I have the same problem, living in the Caribbean both with high temperature and high humidity in my house, and came to the conclusion that a temp & humidity controlled unit that is compressor-based is the only solution to keep cigars in good condition. Compressor-based is key because every opening of a humidor in my environment would cause a humidity spike UP. So a compressor based unit which works very quickly and frequently is the key to control humidity. I wish I had bought a Raching unit as suggested as above, but due to cost I opted for a lower cost and smaller Newair 1500. It works fairly well and can stays very close to my 68F and 65% RH settings...If I buy a new unit in the future it will be a Raching for sure. 1
