Need advice

[Cam]

Brought some more Cuban Davidoffs, but I am in Southern France and haven't my humidor, is the wine basement a suitable place for storage, do bats eat cigars :-( I was recommended at one time it's an excellent place for cigars, and in New Zealand this is where I keep my non cubans, but for my Davies I really don't want to make a mistake, been collecting for years but have never been in this situation, and I will worry about them all the time if someone doesn't say yes or no right now.

The standard response is: Send them to me and I'll store them for you. ;-)

Honestly, the space is probably great for temperature, and likely reasonable for humidity, but I'd invest in an incredibly cheap humidor to ensure they are cared for. Keeping them in a humidor will insulate them from the swings in humidity which come with rainy weather. Also, by keeping them in a sealed box, you don't have to worry about bats, mice, etc. If you don't want to buy a humidor, use some sort of well sealed box.

Thankyou for that well informed response that I need a humidor lol.. but do bats eat cigars.. I dont know anything could happen, thanks for your help, I think ill just put them in a plastic container with a sponge or kitty gels. Do bats eat tabacco I know theyre notorious fruit eaters and some suck blood..

I actually just found la good site online for humidors for 69 euros, probably not top quality but still the cigars will be kept in a nice 16-17 degree environment i only need to worry about humidity

Never fear, the cigar-eating bat hasn't been invented yet. They do **** on cigars though, so I would cover them well... :-)

tupperware would work in a pinch, plus of course some type of humidification device....

The wine basement can be an excellent place or cigars. Often very consistent year-round humidity. (A friends is ideal all the time, stable and low 60s RH.) I would check what that RH is before going crazy with humidification devices.

I would definitely put them in some sort of cainet or box, however, to avoid unwatned odor, dust, and curious guano makers;-) .

don't take this the wrong way but only a kiwi could ask if bats eat cigars. are you sure you are not related to rob?

i reckon that if it is a wine cellar that is in good nick, perfect. the humidity should be ideal and the temp low. i have my good wines all off site in professional storage and it is where i keep my cigars as well, at least those that are not for immediate smoking.

lmao probably im italian aswell but then again.. lets just say I enjoyed with very much curiosity reading what rob had to say about your little underwear stunt.. I have a terrible, terrible image burned into my mind forever, kind of like a disaster really.. and thankyou ken for the piece of advice you decided to leave at the end lmao, I got a nice little bag with a built in rechargable humidification pouchg which hold 18 churchill sized cigars, they are now in the cellar.

have a nice day,

elephant man :-)
