That hot side is going to cause issues. Even if its outside the humidor it will still radiate heat back inside. Hmmm the fridge might be the better way to go kuzi. THey are designed to maintain a temp, this looks like its not, not on its own anyways. For $35 though it may be worth playing with.
if i insulate the back of the humi it may not be an issue. iduno... build it so its insulated and there is a fan to keep it cool... iduno. Im thinking that i dontneed that much help to push the temp down so maybe i can put it on a potamiter and "turn down the power" on the heat sink. I dont even know if i can but its worth looking into.
Yea you definetly don't need to drop it to 55* so you might be able to kick the power down and go from there. Research is free put I think I might try to pick a used one up somewhere and play with it if I was you. You know how it is you can do all the reading you want when it actually comes down to it you're just going to have to experiment.
They are all singles except a box of NUb Cameroon's. I don't buy boxes typically bc I like trying new things. Now don't get me wrong I have 5 or 6 of a couple different sticks.
There are probably some sticks that you are going to hate/love to smoke because once they are gone ....You will be eighty years old and still have that barber pole Nub, along with the Sam Leccia story.

I once had a barber pole nub, but the doctor gave me some ointment and it cleared right up.

LMAO. Right back to our otherwise seemingly harmless threads gone terribly wrong motif.
And with that, dutyje welcome to the forum. Hope your experience brings you as much joy as I've had.
Well, dang.. that's about the best welcome I could've imagined. Although I should've guessed that my little bit about temperature might stir the pot Maduro makes a good point - a smoker like me with a tiny (15-20 sticks?) box like mine doesn't stand to lose a large investment to beetles, I don't care what the heck I put in it. I'll mind the humidity as meticulously as I mind my climbing gear, and everything should be fine.
I'll be smoking a Trinidad 100th Anniversary Toro this weekend. Anybody know much about that one? I've decided to pick up a couple samplers from this site to get started, and I'll keep a handful of Onyx on hand because I've been thinking about them for years.
I've got tons of questions. I enjoy the study almost as much as the smoke itself. I'll post them elsewhere and keep this as the welcome thread.
Thanks again for the warm greetings, all! If you're ever in Charlotte, seriously shoot me a PM. I've got a fully stocked bar (only a couple Scotches if that's your thing), but I'll shake hands and share a drink and a smoke with any good man.
duty, Hopefully you didn't take any offense to what I said. Just get a digital hygrometer that displays temp and RH ... find the right spot in your house that keeps the temp below 75* and make sure your RH stays in the 65-70% range and you'll be perfect. And welcome aboard, I too love the study as much as the smoking.
Hey I'm Lucas, a 21 year old from Omaha. I'm fairly new to cigar smoking and a friend of mine turned me on to this site. I've already signed up for the cigar of the month club and i love it. This is an awesome site with what seems like awesome people that like to help newbies like me.
Welcome Lucas I just started using this site and smoking cigars about 2 or 3 weeks ago and you'll like it here.
Also any questions, don't hesitate to ask. So far I haven't be insulted for any of my ridiculous questions.......YET lol

I'm pretty much impossible to offend... the advice is appreciated. I think I'll just stick the box in a cool closet during the summer months and the temp should stay in the low 70's. I appreciate the sense of humor everybody has, and how relaxed everyone is on here. It sure makes this hobby much less intimidating and enjoyable to us new folk.

LOL I have to give you some crap after all I've been catching from Kaspera about beetles.
