Out of curiosity -- what are thinking when you say "cooler side"? What is the typical ambient temperature in your house?

my house stays anywhere from 63-75 in the winter and 73-76 in the summer. I was mostly asking those people that fight upper 80-90 degree weather all year.

There is no place in the world with 80-90degree temps year long. They may have average daily high temperatures this high but it does cool off at night.

I assume you are asking with reference to beetles? Beetles need sustained high temperatures to hatch, most places cool off at night so even though it might get warm during the day the night time cooling will often go below the critical point.

Many of us(including myself) use wine coolers to keep temperatures lower. But I no longer plug in my wine coolers, I found it much easier to freeze all my boxes for 3-4 days before putting them in a cooler.

What I mean by a constant high is no actual cold winder with snow and really low temperatures like we have here in nebraska. Sorry, should have worded it different.

When I pick up a new hobby, I try to learn all I can. Rather it be firearms, hunting, fishing, sports, brewing.......

I am relativly new to cigars and I am just trying to learn and understand different things.

I apologize if I am wasting your time, I would PM someone but I don't really know anyone that well here yet.

More reading, less random posting and thread starting. You are spending too much time being over ambitious, spend some time learning.

Thats what I am trying to do. You gotta ask questions to learn don't you?

Is there a Cigar Bible with all the knowledge in it I can read?

Jon Caputo is writing the definitive guide. Until then, one can only run over to puff.com and learn all his wisdom firsthand.
