I'm not trying to be controversial. I know all about beetles. I've seen the horrific pictures. I freeze incoming stock before it goes into my fridgador. So, obviously, I've already been convinced that temp control is a necessity for my cigars. So, why then do I question temp control?
Over the years, I've spent more time than I care to admit fantasizing over those big beautiful cabinet humidors that you see on many online retailer's websites. And you know, those massive armoire humidors are pricey, but they don't get out-of-this-world pricey until you start looking at the temperature controlled units. This got me glancing back over at the regular, non-temp controlled pieces, and that's when I noticed just how many more non-temp controlled units there are for sale on the web than temp controlled. Most -- by a long shot -- of what you see out there has no temperature control. And, at least one highly regarded online humidor retailer doesn't offer any temp controlled cabinets.
So, what I want to know is, if temp control is so crucial, and around here it sure seems like it is, why do so few retailers even offer it? And even when they do, if their online catalog is any indicator, it appears that most cabinet humidors being bought and sold are regular, old fashioned, RH only cabinets. What gives?
