Storing cigars in a Wineador?

[CigarNut]

I think that a wine cooler is a fine storage medium. Plenty of people store their cigars in wine coolers -- good cigars -- for years with out any problems.

While cedar can add flavors to cigars it's not required. Cedar is another method of holding in / releasing some moisture, but it is not humidification.

This hobby (like others) has a lot of differing opinions. Give it a shot and see what happens. The wine cooler will certainly not damage your cigars, so you have nothing to lose.

I dont make any determination as to the "quality" of my cigars. If I am going to smoke them, they all better be good. I have been using coolers and two 28btl Vinotemps for storage for almost 5 years. I do have some random singles in a desktop just for ease of access.

This is kind of what I was thinking.

I have a handfull of cigars from another place that I was debating on putting in here. I think I will go ahead and do it.

Thanks guys.

I use the cedar more for aroma than anything. Combined with cigars makes for an outstanding cologne.
