Beginner looking for first humidor

[Emaresee]

Something similar which may or may not have wandered my way from the office stationery cupboard....

Ordered the cube humidor. Same seller but via amazon instead of ebay. Should be here next week

I've been keeping an eye on the temperature and in the humidors current position it is always between 20-22 Celsius... Is this too high?

Everything i've read says thats about right mate, i'm no expert though

Was a tad worried, thought it may have been a bit high

Changed positions last night and it has been stable at 16 degrees all day. Guessing thats better than being @20-22

^ Main reason I was worried was due to tobacco beetles. I've read about these pests but all of the threads I read were quite dated. How common are they these days?

Hi,scooby I think anything you buy over here from retailers should be fine, because they are temp controlled before being brought into country, anything bought from say Cuba is recommended to put through the fridge/freezer as Cuba market cigars aren't put through the same processes as for export cigars, they tend to like there cigars 'fresh', there for more susceptible to little stowaways...

For those of you that smoke cigarillos, do you keep them in your humidor? I've never done so in the past but i'm guessing it wouldn't do any harm?
