Any of you that have a large cabinet style humidor, do you keep bottles of wine or booze in it? It would be a better selling point for "The War Department" aka My Wife. those half and half jobs that cost an arm and a leg.... let me know what you think...

I think Sam's Club had one of these available in their holiday catolog. IIRC, it was a monster.

70 degrees is too warm for wine. You need one with separate compartments.

Agree with Mark. I keep all my wines at or near 55-57 degrees.

There is'nt room for the cigars never mind booze. I have two large cabinets and I'm looking to go larger. They sell a nice wine cooler at home depot for 99.00- 150.00 that holds 16-26 bottles.

There shouldn't be a problem with keeping cigars at 55 degrees. At least I hope not, as that's where I keep the thermostat at home.

what raing mark said.

oops! what Raging Mark said!

It is not possible to attain an absolute humidity level that will keep cigars from drying out at temperatures below 60 degrees F and beetle hatching and infestation is likely to occur at temperatures approaching 80 degrees F. These observations will put to rest the fallacy that the refrigerator is a good place to store cigars. Not only do we have to worry about our premium cigars beginning to acquire the flavors from left over foods but the cigars will dry out and become essentially unsmokable. The freezer is an even worse place to store cigars. The humidity becomes virtually zero, and the loss of moisture from cigars will accelerate to produce a bone-dry smoke."

Sorry the table didn't print better. You can figure it out by looking at the 70 degree line. Across from left to right is temperature, water vapor pressure and required relative humidity of the air to keep cigar humidity at 70 percent RH.

Ok.. so I dont keep wine there what about booze? let me know your thoughts. remember , I have to sell the idea to the War Department.

Booze doesn't require the temperature regulation that wine does, so booze you can keep at whatever temp without it changing, I think.

knof, I was all impressed until I saw that....."I think" whats up? Time to do some booze testing.... need help?
