As I said, I really was just looking for information. Not trying to foist crud on anyone -- I have to assume the cigars are of decent quality. 
 
Thanks.

 I think the critters (beetles) that most would be worried about would already be in the box. If a box of cigars is left above 70 degrees for a length of time tobacco beetles can hatch in the cigars and turn cigars to dust rather quickly. Unlikely but still possible.
