I'm amazed how easy it is for me to maintain humidity since I moved my smokes to the basement. Should have been a no brainer for me, but I was too lazy to walk downstairs!

I have a basement, but am a little leary, as it has a noticeable musty odor. But it is a lot cooler down there. Should I be concerned about the smell finding it's way in to my cigars, or worry more about heat roasting them?

Good question Smoke. I'd be leary of both but I'm not sure.

If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.

Hell, with the fridgador you won't need a basement. Basements can also be moldy. I'm gonna try to do the fridgador when i get home. Question: In a tupperdor/fridgador you use the cedar from old boxes but how do you attach it to the walls? Glue gives off fumes or is there anything else that you can use to not leave a smell that will ruin the cigars?

I didn't attach it to the walls in my tupperdor. Its just laying in there but most people use food quality glue or double sided tape.

Speaking of interesting uses for things. Did you know NASA spent millions developing a pen that would work in zero gravity? The Russians used a pencil.

That is because they don't have millions to waste over there. But everyone knows that pens are so much better in zero gravity. No eraser nubbles floating around when you foul up ;)

I just learned a new word.

On the smell vs. heat issue, I'd think as long as your smokes are in a humidor or a cedar-equipped tupperdor, the smell of the basement wouldn't be a problem. You could always put 3-4 down there for a month and see.

My other thought is that the smell comes from the presence of mold, and the spores they produce. That is my major concern, introducing mold spores to the humi. I agree Urbi that the cedar in my humis should be more dominant of an odor, since they obviously have the lid closed. Good discussion, thanks fellas :)

Yea I'm with you on that smoke. Maybe if you kept the humi down there but never opened it down there? Course that'd be a pain in the old buttocks

Especially since I love to open the thing from time to time and gaze lovingly at the contents, while inhaling a lungful of the Spanish Cedar scent through the nose

I say test it. Go to K-Mart and buy a pack of Hava-Tampas or something, stick 'em down there and see what happens in a month, 2 months, etc.

Food quality glue, thats good to know. Thanks. As far as the Russians are concerned they were too broke and too cheap to develop a pen for zero gravity. We on the other hadn enjoy blowing millions of dollars on neat gadgets. Government usually just pisses me off lately, politicians pandering to every group to get themselves reelected. Forget 'flip-flopping', how about barefooting; like walking on glass and tip-toeing around every group and their issue so not to piss them off and get their votes instead of standing for something like...I don't know...the CONSTITUTION! The basements has an inherent odor but they can get their smell from the mold too. Thats only if they are damp and not sealed properly. A finished basement should be ok. Sorry for the rant, i saw something on the news that pissed me off yesterday.

I see something in the news that pisses me off everyday, so I understand where you're coming from. And I have to say I agree with you on the points you made.
