It’s not a cooler, it’s a badass humidor now! Anything that is meant to contain moisture and temperature such as Tupperware, a cooler, old fridge, it is the perfect item to make your self a huge humidor. Just make sure you keep the humidity at the right level by keeping a hygrometer inside and you’re golden. A lot of people use old wine coolers for their humidors because they keep a perfect temp and hold in the moisture needed for aging, usually around 65%. Enjoy it my friend!

Hey Ross this is a surreal reply bro. Are you just trying to clown Pete or something?

No it’s a real reply. I even use a wine cooler as a humidor. I’m not sure I understand y’all’s concern. Am I missing something?

Ross, I don’t think anyone’s saying you’re wrong — a cooler or wine fridge can absolutely work as a humidor. Tons of people run “coolerdors” successfully.
I think the reaction might just be to how casually it was presented, like any container that holds moisture automatically equals ideal cigar storage. There’s a little more nuance — airflow, insulation consistency, seal quality, temp swings, and how the humidity source is managed all matter.
That said, using a wine cooler is actually pretty common for larger setups, especially if you’re keeping it around 65% and monitoring with a good hygrometer like you mentioned. If it’s holding steady and your cigars are smoking well, that’s what counts.
