temperature

Question...

sealed box (wine fridge) with plenty of boveda in it. Can temperature affect RH, given that boveda are chemically geared to maintain a RH of 65%? presently reading 65-67 % at temps of c.55 Fahrenheit.


I'm thinking of moving long term storage into a wineador but getting it to a 'standard' temp is a challenge despite being in an integral garage. I cant see evidence of 'cold' being detrimental, but perhaps someone has some scientific evidence? Interested in fact over opinion so I can move / not move the collection to a new home without fear of destroying lovely, and some hard to find, sticks with a move to their new home.

googling temperature brings up lots of crud about the 70/70 ideal which I think we mostly agree is opinion laced guff, that is fine if you like your smokes that way!
Thx

I can only provide anecdotal evidence Matt. As you know I have two Haier wine coolers each with 2lbs of Heartfelt beads in them. One is in the cabin where temperatures never fall below 5 degrees but have hit 40 degrees in the summer, the other is in my unheated garage which regularly sees an ambient humidity of 80%+ in this cold damp weather. Neither of them have strayed below 62% humidity or above 69%. As we freeze them to kill any nasties then I would have thought short periods of intense cold will do little harm.

seriously helpful. all i could find was i know a guy who kept his open box cigars in a wine cellar... etc etc etc not proof. but having had sticks from you, you know howto keep them and keep them well,so this is more thn enough proof for me! thank you
