Time to fire one up!

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
Excellent info here, I have several wineadors and after doing all the research I have finally decided to start freezing my sticks. So far wineador #1 is complete, and the second one is in the freezer as I type this. Triple bagging might be overkill, but I don't mind taking the extra time to make sure moisture stays in! Great information on this thread!

What's this button do?

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
I have to admit I never freeze. I also have never seen a beetle hole on one of my cigars. I think it's because my main storage is in the basement where it is always cool all year long. First beetle hole I see and I will become the Freeze Avenger. For now, what the heck.

On a residential level, I've never bothered with the refrigerator step, I don't feel it's necessary, I just stick them right into a deep freezer (-10F) for a week and I've never had a cigar damaged by skipping the refrigerator steps. |

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
Same here. Straight from freezer to cabinet, no issues. I've even smoked a still slightly frozen cigar on occassion and not had any issues.

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
Reading through this I came up with a question. When you freeze the cigars, do you take them out of the box or keep them in the box?

However, on the off chance that an egg is sitting free in the box, I'd freeze the box as well.

Recently I pulled a cedar wrapped cigar out to smoke ,when I removed the cedar wrapper I found a beetle hole that must have happened before I got the cigar ......very glad I froze all of my cigars .
I put a finger over the hole and smoked it . yum

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
I've been thoroughly frightened. I put my meager collection into the freezer this morning. Thanks for all the info in this thread, better safe than sorry.

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
Update: I put a thermometer in my deep freezer with my cigars today and it has been consistently reading around -5 F~ -20.5 C. So I think they're good.
I'll let them warm overnight and stick them in the humi sometime tomorrow. Thanks again. Maybe I'll enjoy one of my low end sticks tomorrow sometime. |

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
Jonathon, I skip the warming step and just put right into the humidor. Never an issue. Heck, I've smoked cigars right out of the freezer.

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
After ordering some bundles and boxes on the devil site and getting my shipmemt in today, I remembered that three-four years ago I caught an infestation in my humidor before it became too bad. I specifically remember the cigars, two Pinar Del Rio's from a 5 pack I ordered off Cigarbid. I think that's how I first found this forum when I was searching for answers on what the holes were! Lol.
Mainly I haven't been keeping over 20 cigars on hand the past two years or so and have only been using my small tupperdor. I haven't froze in a while since the small amount I've been keeping on hand I smoke relatively quick. First thing I did when I got my boxes and bundles in today was take them to the foodsaver and vacuumed sealed them and placed them in the refrigerator. They will go in the freezer later tonight. This thread will be a timeless thread to help many brothers even years from now. Thanks to the OP for putting it together. |

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
So, it's been years since this was posted, but I read through every reply. Thank you.
I will begin freezing as my first new orders start trickling in. As for the two lonely cigars sitting at home in the humidor, they will be smoked when I get in from out of town.

Hello
There will be constant discussion around whether or not to freeze your cigars and whether it impacts flavor or not. Last edited by icehog3; 01-22-2018 at 09:23 AM. |
