Temp control - how important is it?

CdnStogie · 07-25-2014, 05:41 AM

Being newer to cigars, I only have a small collection going for about 4 months now. I haven't gone through the freezing my cigars method and have had my temps typically hovering between 72-75* daily with no ill effects *knock on wood*. I just bought a house however and now that I have a basement, I have a much cooler area than I had in my non-a/c apartment so I have my temps corrected.

Though if/when I have a bigger collection (only have about 40 sticks) I will be more concerned with beetles and temp control... From my understanding, most reputable manufacturers/suppliers freeze the cigars prior to putting them in storefronts etc as a safety net - I forget where I read that....
