Temperature question..
I've been reading the many faq's regarding cigar storage on the Internet. One thing I've noticed is that when talking about temperature they all say that ideal storage temperature is around 65 to 70 degrees. Any colder and you slow aging, any hotter and you risk beetles. But what happens if you remove cigar beetles from the equation by freezing the cigars before storage?
Lets assume the following: Good quality humidor No cigar beetle risk due to pre-freezing Heartfelt beads used to keep humidity stable at 65% Cigars will be kept for no longer then 1 year Temperature hits 90 during the day and 60 at night My question is this: What is the impact of storage in higher temperatures given that humidity is kept stable and beetles are not an issue? And what is the impact of daily temperature swings given that humidity remains stable? |
