But anyway, here's my question-
Can cello stop beetles from moving from cigar to cigar or can the beetles just eat right through the cello?

Right through cello and right through non spanish cedar boxes, I have heard of them eating through tubos but have not experienced this.

A few things to be concerned about from that perspective. If they are frozen at the factory (heavy on the if) they still go to the vendor or to the B&M humi or to your friends humi, plenty of time to contact beetles.

Also if you think about a box of cigars it has a great insulative factor, now think of a crate of cigars in the factory, how long would it take to get the b boxes in the middle down to a sufficiently low temp to freeze the sticks. Also as far as I have seen and this is more in reference to Cuban sticks Freezingat factory is not an industry wide standard
