Question on storing cigars in cooler temperatures

[Rod]

There is quite a bit of information on the Internet regarding changing if RH with temperature, actually, now that I’ve gone down this rabbit hole. Since I preferred 65% to begin with at 70F, I’ll stop at 75% at 60F, some of those chart numbers seem way too high.

I also think it’s better to err on the slightly less RH than slightly more RH side of the equation. I’m very confident 60-62F at 75% RH will be just fine. Maybe not necessary, but just fine. I’ll certainly report back in several months if I’m wrong, I’ve never been shy about admitting I’m wrong.

But the conversation here sounds very much like IT’S SETTLED SCIENCE! type ‘discussions’. I think it’s run its course. Thanks for the replies.

I genuinely do look forward to your results over time. Hope it all works out for you and get the desired result you're looking for.

Back in 2009 we traveled to Ybor city and I visited the Fuente warehouse. Thanks to their kindness I was given the grand tour which included a trip to their sub-sub basement where they store the cigars. That area was kept at 53°. No, I do not know what the RH was, but the temp was as stated. As several have stated and shared their knowledge, you control you destiny in whatever direction you choose. After all, you will be tHe one smoking them. Enjoy the adventure.
