Humidor placement

[SteveDodds]

I don't have central air in my house. I have window air conditioners in different rooms in my house. These do not run all the time. They only run when I am home. I am from Iowa so it gets warm in my house during the day.I am wondering if I should keep my humidor in a room that doesn't have one of these air conditioners. The reason I ask is because air conditioners remove the humidity in the air. Would it be better to have my humidor in a room that is air conditioned part of the day when I am home or would it be better to keep it in a room that is more constant in temperature. I am concerned about the cigars being affected by large swings in temperature. I don't know if the humidity in the humidor would be affected if it is in a room that is air conditioned. Also, what about them little bugs that they say can ruin cigars if the temperature is to high. What does everyone think of this?

This is my first post here.

Constant temp, below 70F, make sure your humi seals well, use beads, digital hydrometer, welcome to the board.

ETA: Oh yeah, use the search function for sure.

Bugs that eat cigars are nasty, ungrateful and ill-mannered bastids. That's what I think.

Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay.

We don't have central air, either. However, I cannot imagine not running it when I'm not at home. That's a totally foreign concept to me. I turn it on in April, and it stays on through the end of October. I keep my humidor in a room with a north-facing window, that has both an air conditioning unit and a fan in the room. It just worked out that way for me.

There are alternatives for building coolerdors that will keep your smokes at a cooler temperature. Search for them in this forum.

When I was a kid, I loved bugs. Every time I saw one it meant I could punch one of my sisters without getting in trouble. Fantastic. But bugs that eat cigars...

Keep your humi in a room that does not go above say ~78F. Don't worry about the humidity in the room, it's the humidity in your humi that is important. Try to keep that humidity at 65-70% by using beads. As long as your humi is somewhat tight, you will be able to maintain a good humidity in it without having to replenish the beads too often.

Welcome to the forum, use search.

I'm assuming that we're treating this as his introduction thread so welcome to the boards. Read more, post less, the search bar is your friend. Enjoy your stay.

Is that any way to treat a newbie? How the fuck am I supposed to know what the common courtesy of this fucking forum is? Hello. I'm new here! I guess I will go someplace else to talk about cigars. I hope you are fucking happy for driving away a new person on this forum. Guess what I suggest? I suggest you go to fucking hell. How dare you act like that towards me. Wish I could drive down there to San Antone and beat your sorry fat ass.

I have to say i got ripped way worse than this guy on my first post and hey im still here oh well, another one bights the dust. Knowing your place is an important trait in all things not just the online world, when your new play by the rules and respect the elders, or people with more posts in this case.
