Freezing

Wise choice.

Freezing is like insurance. You hope you never need it, but you shouldn't be without it.

I would never freeze my cigars, ever. Just my

That is the way I do it, better safe then sorry.

I do not freeze my stash, but I found this in my non-Vino desktop humidor a few weeks back.

I keep my boxes in the vinotemp at 68F, so my real risk is just my desktops with singles.

those padrons.......... are.... i dont even want to go there. that must have been a sad day.

do you guys freeze all your sticks, or just CCs?

Nimbus · 10-24-2008, 08:27 PM

I try to freeze some cigars when I have the time, but never get around to most of my stash

. If you keep the cigars at a relative safe 65% humidity and 65 degrees, you should be fine. Although, some members like their gars a little bit dryer 60% humidity and 60 degrees. To each his own; depending upon your preference.

What kind of stick is that (if you can say)? Never seen a real live beetle.

Send them to me. I will put them on the back porch for a couple of nights. 26 degrees tonight and 22 tomorrow night. It's spitting snow as I write this. Looks like a B&M visit is in the near future.

To each his own but here is what can happen if you don't freeze.

All credit goes to Moki for the pics...

white_s2k · 10-24-2008, 01:41 PM

I hate seeing those pics!

I have decided not to freeze my cigars, since im constantly looking through my humidor.

duckmanco · 10-24-2008, 03:17 PM

I don't freeze either, but after seeing those pics, I have no one to blame but myself if that ever happens to me. Yikes.

I'm with the group that don't freeze, did it once with half my sticks and they tasted flat, never came back.
