[quote=gettysburgfreak;32722]Will any wine cooler work as long as it is thermoelectric?

This one at Lowes is nice

I have a different opinion than everyone else on this. I think the only time it really matters is if you're storing your cigars in an extreme environment. Say you keep them in the garage in a compressor unit then you might have a problem in the summer. My very first cooler was a 47 bottle compressor and I have it to this day still in service. It's rock solid and stays at 65%. With most folks keeping their homes below 75 degrees the compressor wont kick on that much. Now there is a slight dip in humidity when it comes on but if you load it up with beads and cedar boxes then you won't have any issues.
