The invention provides for the private use of an apparatus to cool down bottled and similarly packed beverages (further to other food products, if desired) and, at the same time, to keep at optimum temperature and relative humidity values tobacco products, in particular cagars. To this purpose, use
The invention provides for the private use of an apparatus to cool down bottled and similarly packed beverages (further to other food products, if desired) and, at the same time, to keep at optimum temperature and relative humidity values tobacco products, in particular cagars. To this purpose, use is made in a cabinet (110) of a column (F1) of ascending air which, after undergoing refrigeration through a functional cooling unit (50) arranged in the lowest compartment (10), flows first through an intermediate compartment (120) holding the beverages, and then through the uppermost compartment (140) in w3hich the tobacco products are stored. Upon transfering its humidity over to said tobacco products, the air then flows back to the refrigerating unit (50) along a countercurrent flow (F3) with respect to the ascending column (F1).
