Freezes your cigars for a week as you get them. Then you don't have to worry about temp really... Gets in the mid 80's here all the time during the day in my humi's. No worries here.

Like dustin said as long as you have frozen for a few days to a week upon receipt of all cigars you won't have to worry about beetles hatching. However the issue you will have is extreme temp swings daily, meaning during a workday your shop may be heated while you work there and get up to 70 farenheit, then at night it may drop down to 30 degrees or less. Then summer hot temps may be up to 100+ degrees, followed by drops down to cooler 70s at night. If this is the kind of temp swings you are saying your shop gets, then I wouldn't personally recommend it for a humidor space. Maybe a travel humidor with a few excess smokes for at work, sure, but I would never keep a large valuable stash in these conditions. Sure with beads and litter pearls you may be able to have your hygrometers showing a steady 65 to 70 rh most of the time, but no doubt with the huge temp fluctuations your cigars will not be seeing a STABLE environment. up to you though.

I wonder what the temp swings would be inside of a cooler? They are intended for insulation purposes, so I would think they should keep it relatively stable. Has anyone ran any tests with a min/max thermometer?

Honestly there are a bunch of different ways to freeze, but really, i kind of got lazy with it and have had no issues. I pt them in a ziploc, suck all the air out, toss them in the freezer for a week or two, pull them out and let them sit overnight, then put them back in. It's pretty easy honestly.

I have a large walk in closet in our bedroom. No windows or direct sun light , no huge swings in temperature and easy to get to. This year I got a real nice humidifier for the whole house. It is small and quiet and I can set it at 68%. We have gas forced air heat, which tend to dry out the house in the winter. With the humidifier in the living room my humidors in there have been just perfect this winter, low maintenance and I use a digital thermometer to check the temp from time to time. After all this is a labor of love. Smoke on Brother.

I keep mine in the house inside one of the closets...away from everybody and it's in a perfect temperature. I've kept one in the garage but here in Atlanta the summers can be brutal so I stopped keeping it in the garage and since I have a basement I've kept a coolerador in there...perfect.
