HEAT, shipping and cigars....

[RealPurobrat]

The issue with the heat during shipping has been answered to the degree that can be foreseen. However, I want to speak to the issue of adjusting the thermostat in the home. Those nifty wine cooler boxes can be had for about $100 or less and need no real modification (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/search-ng.gsp?search_constraint=0&search_query=wine+coole r&Continue.x=41&Continue.y=9&Continue=Find&ics=20& ico=0]Wine Coolers) . But if you turn that thermo down to 68 or 70, you are going to spend an extra $50 - $100 every month during the summer. So save some bucks and go for the cooler.


And WinstonSpencer, a Fridgador is a combination of the shortened Refrigerator (fridge) and Humidor (dor) with an "a" in the middle. You can have a Coolador, Fridgador, chestador, closador and I even had a Hondador at one time. Cause if the temp is around 70, and the RH is about 70 it IS a humidor, even if it Does say Honda on the trunk lid.

Oh yeah, to be more specific, a Fridgador is a refrigerator that has been converted to a Humidor. This is usually a fridge that no longer works, and the compressor and all has been replaced with an Oasis or other suitable humidification device. Sometimes the shelves are lined with Spanish cedar (NEVER use aromatic cedar ) but if you store in cedar boxes, additional cedar is not really needed. However, if you use a large fridge that will not be completely full just yet, additional cedar planks will certainly help you stabilize the RH.
Here is a really nice modest example. Fridgador
