Am I OK in storing my cigars like this?

If you are really worried about beetles try freezing your cigars as Andy suggested above.

I've never used ice as the OP "blue ice packs" wrapped in a ziplock

I've done the Blue Ice bit for many years without a problem.
My house can easily exceed 80 degrees in the summer, and
I've never had a problem with beetle menageries or RH spiking.
Put 'em in a Ziploc bag with a towel underneath & life is gooderer.
