Store the Cigar

[Abdulghani Bushnaq]

Good Day,
I posted a thread on the general discussion asking for the below :

I am Cigar novices and i live in hot and humid area, the temperature in the summer time is between 104 and 122 Fahrenheit, and humidity In August reach to it max with 80%.

What is the best way for me to store my Cigar?
the link of the thread and suggestions from the forums members ( thanks to all ) :

and as last reply I find the two option as below links, I know the first option is ideal one , but kindly I need your advice for option 2 since I have no experience with the wine cooler and how it works can I use it with as it is without adding any other preservation like humidification items.
Option 1

First of all let me say that I don't have any experience in either of these units, so I cannot speak to how well they perform.

What I will say, having done a wine cooler setup previously, is that you will have trouble stabilizing your humidity with the wine cooler option. When the compressor kicks on to cool the unit it sucks the humidity out of it. You'll drop 20% humidity in 5 minutes. I personally don't think they work very well unless you disable the cooling option and use it for the seal/easy set up.

As for the units that are made for cigars....I don't know. Maybe the manufacturers have remedied that problem in those types of units. Maybe someone here has one and can speak to it, I cannot. But I would hope they have fixed that problem in units that are made for cigars.

With your situation, needing some cooling, I don't think turning a wine fridge into a humidor is going to satisfy you. I think you'll have a lot of problems regulating the humidity. I really think you need to look at a unit built for cigars that includes cooling. My 2 cents.
