I searched far and wide on this site and online and have read mixed results. Does anyone have any experience with cigar storage in sub 60 temps? I just got a 150qt and the only place I can put that behemoth is down in the basement which is usually between 55-60 and occasionally dips to 50 on super cold days (heat zone is set to 50 down there). I read it slows the aging process (yea and?) but havent seen any other negatives. Anyone? 🌫 's? [jester] 's? azzhats? Thanks!

Maybe you should give up cigars and start storing eye liner and lip stick.

I mean do they smoke as well? What RH do I need to keep them in?

The cigars will be fine. When you pull one to smoke just give a a bit to come up to room temp before lighting it.

Heat can hatch tobacco beetles. Cold lowers rh% so if you're using beads no biggie.

55-60 degrees with sometimes down to 50? Dang, you could age some beer in there too!

I have several humi's that experience the 50-60 degree winter temps. They seems to do quite well.

From a European site.

Our cigars are perfectly stored and conserved in our industrial caves at a temperature of 10¼ centigrade [50¼ Fahrenheit] and a 68% humidity.

I have read more than once about the Europeans storing them in caves.

I have smoked them just 8 hours after coming out of the freezer for 3 days. I can't imagine a cool basement is going to matter.

At lower temps you need to make sure the humidity levels remain high enough to keep the tobacco humidified. It is easy to have the humidity get too low and dry our your sticks at lower temperatures because the air holds less moisture when it is colder.

I keep my coolerdor in da basement and it gets colder in winter, haven't had any problems. I keep plenty of 65% rh beads in there and have no issue with maintaining humidity levels.
