Humidor temp/rh

[driver]

Winador has been getting up to 73 degrees during the day 71 degrees at night with RH at 63%-64% constantly. Any concerns with the tobacco ------ well don't even want to say it?

From what I understand, 75% rh is the line that you do not want to cross. So you are getting close. I assume your wineador is thermoelectric cooled. Is there a reason why you can't turn the temp down?

Over 70 % humidity will create mold. Over 72 degs F temp will hatch bugs.

Not thermoelectric just a storage vessel. 71-73 degrees and humidity 63%-64%

I think I'm going to move winador downstairs where I'll achieve 70 degrees or less constantly.

Shouldn't you say "could" instead of "will"? Over 72* doesn't guarantee bugs does it?

I get 73 for about 6 hours a day during 80+ degrees days, I don't like the idea of freezing cigars. looks like the wife will be making room in the coat closet down stairs during summer for my garsiky's
