Should be no problem. If you think your humi is not airtight, you could always wrap in a plastic wrap to restrict airflow but I think that is a bit over the top.

Enjoy the weekend!

I'm paranoid and freeze my cigars if they are over 85 for very long.

I'm assuming this is out of fear for beetles. As most domestic distributors already freeze their cigars before they ship them, in order to kill the eggs, I think you are correct - you are paranoid. But hey - if it makes you feel secure, I see no harm. Just

As for the - uh, non-domestic ones, well . . . .

They do but it doesn't always prevent beetles from hatching as evidenced from many threads here. And yes, Habanos SA started freezing a few years ago.


FWIW, humidors are not meant to be totally air-tight. The good ones do allow for minimum air exchange.

I should have added, I don't think you will have a problem for a few days.
