Q:Â I am thinking of building a wine cellar. Is it okay for my
humidor to be in the cooler temperature and humidity of a wine cellar. I will still keep my stogies in the humidor and keep it properly hydrated.

A: Absolutely. A lot of cigar smoking wine enthusiasts have made room for their
cigars in their wine cellars. You can even buy a
combination wine-rack & humidor (
see photo).
Moreover, in a way, you also answered your own question. For long term aging, cooler temperatures are quite acceptable. As long as you keep the RH in the humidor at a proper level, your cigars will be fine.
