Funny you should mention that. I just recently went through a mass freezing of my entire cooler stock because of some beetles. I kept the thing in the coolest part of the house, but it still wasn't enough. I moved my nicer sticks and the ones I plan to store long term over to a wine cooler, but I still have half a cooler full of cigars. When summer hits again, I plan to implement the blue icepack technique to keep things cooler. Its worked for me in the past for controlling temp, but I've never had one directly with the cigars; but I'd rather have slight humidity swings than beetles again.
