Thats my question. Is 60-65 degrees to cold for proper storage and aging of cigars? TIA

I would say anything between 60-72 would be a good range.. You could drive yourself nuts trying to keep it at 70/70.

I see no problem with that range.

Thats what I was thinking, but I just wanted to confir (sp?) with some experts. My Avanti seems to prefer the lower 60's to the upper ones

Every box of Habanos says to keep them between 61-64F., and 65%-70% humidity.

They seem to smoke better in this range.

I've always kept my stash within the 61-67 range and have never had any problems.

60-65 is where I'd prefer mine to be, closer to 65 if possible. Not a problem in the Winter but unfortunately that's not possible for me in the summer. I used to try to keep things under 75. But when it really, really gets hot I just pray it doesn't go over 75.

I keep mine between 60 and 70. I'm at the mercy of my basement temps. The humidity ranges fron 63-66.

I've never had a problem with that temperature range in my fridge-a-dor. I try to shoot for 63-65.
