    Good advice, but I'd add you should bring them inside rather than leave them in the glovebox. The extreme temps might not do any harm, but they might cause the cigar to underperform when you smoke it the next day. If you read up a bit on here, you'll see a lot of reference to "resting" cigars for days, weeks, or months after we receive them from online. This is because the extreme temps (and humidity changes as well) from shipping act the same as your glovebox and most of us don't want to risk a bad experience (or wasting an otherwise perfectly good cigar) by smoking Right off the Truck (ROTT for short).

    Ill also add to what Doug said, I would not keep them in the glove box more then you absolutely have to. Temp swings like that are not the best thing for them for long term storage.

    I've kept them for a week in a ziplock Baggie with no humidification and they were fine. If they do start getting a little dry you can always ball up a paper towel and lightly dampen it and toss in there for short term storage.
