Just read sticky about the How's and Why's of cigar storage

[JollyRogers]

I was actually going to comment about beetles earlier today. Got home this afternoon and had to make room for a new shipment, and noticed BEETLES in two cigars. My house is old and the AC can't keep up so it get's up above 70 on occasion. Went through everything else and found no signs of beetles, freezing everything just to be safe.

Well, I checked this morning and I was at 72F in the room where I keep my smokes. So, I was able to cool it down another 3 degrees over the house setting of 75F. I am also going to try running 65% RH as you guys recommended for a more even burn and I imagine this will help even more to keep those beetles away. I viewed some pictures online of those nasty critters...can't say that I want to see them around my house or cigars anytime soon. I will start inspecting all future cigar shipments. In fact, I have a little humidor on my coffee table and I will start keeping new cigars in there until I can prove that they don't have any beetles. Again, appreciate all the advice. My cigar investment is nothing compared to some of you guys but for a blue collar fellow it's a lot to me.
