Is this advisable? Or, is temp/humidity fluctuation too great? I jar all my stuff, so I figure it might be ok. But, I always like the experts' advice.

Depends on the temp. in the garage. Too warm and you may get condensation in the jars. Best inside in a steady environment. Cool and dry.

In the house.
Cool dark place, garages do not meet that description.

"There is no dumb question"
There are days where I wish I was my tobacco. Just sitting in a cool dark room relaxing.
Yeh... its bedtime.

Especially here in Arizona. That type of storage would be known as "stoving." |

I've found the place place to store it is either in an actual cellar or under the bed. Garages get hot and cold and just aren't good places for ageing. You don't want to cook/freeze your cellar. |

BIG +1.....change of temperature or humidity levels outside will create moisture in tobacco’s stored on a garage, might even cause mold. If you live in an area where your garage doesn’t get HOT and your humidity level is low some people do store tobacco in their garage. A member of this forum has with no issues. Maybe he will notice this thread and chime in with his latest update how it’s working out for him. |

I think I would put mine in the guest bedroom closet if you have a guest bedroom closet if not put it in one of those tubs and slide it under the bed

I just need to buy a cabinet for all my current stuff, and use the pantry for "cellar" stuff. Just gotta find something the wife is willing to look at 365 and be happy with.

Maybe because it's different here and temperature fluctuations aren't that bad (we go from an average of 5 degrees C to 16 degrees C in the year), but I have kept my tobacco in my garage for the last 2 years and so far it's all good. It's in my office, which is in my garage. I've nowhere to store them in the house so it had better be ok.

Lift your bed up off the ground a little properly and store your tobacco in containers under the bed. Your never humid in Ireland?  It rains often, so your humidity levels are not low....just think about it. |

I have a couple of bags of silica gel in the drawer, so maybe that helps...although I've not recharged them ever so they're probably not doing anything. Anyway, my tobacco is always at a nice level of moisture and so far no mold. |

Condensation would build in the jars and mold would definitely form in a short period of time. |

Mine is under my bed, and under the bed in one of the back bedrooms. The girlfriend said I am more of a tobacco collector than a pipe smoker.

Might work if you put it all inside a cooler. It is much easier to just find a place in a closet or under a bed.

I have a real nice humidor , large with multiple sections does the tobacco like a certain humidity? I usually use boveda packs do I treat it like a cigar ?

Keep it stored INSIDE the HOUSE! If you have to smoke in the garage, take only what you will smoke at that time to the garage. Inside has better temp control.  |

Nope pipe tobacco is a lot more forgiving so long as its kept in a sealed container (jar) you can hold it at good moisture level indefinitely. Typically you want it at way dryer than any humidor. 70% is way too wet for a pipe. My local tobaccanist tries to keep it at around 12 to 20%. |

My powder is kept in the garage and I have some IMR 4198 that has been stored in the garage for 30+years and is still good.
But summer in the garage is going to speed aging, like previously mentioned like stoving.

Ok inside the cabinet it will go.. didn’t know it would not require some kind of special storage. |

I fail to see how external humidity could affect a sealed container. Moisture cannot cross glass.
Temperature would by raising temp in the jar, hereby affecting the internal humidity.
But humidity without temperature change outside should have no effect.
Tins may be more prone to humidity effect as deformation of the seal would increase risk of failure.

It rains often, so your humidity levels are not low....just think about it.
