Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
Where do people stand on this topic now? I noticed this thread is several years old. Do you still freeze? If so, is it more out of habit now? I'm wondering if the industry has made any improvements the last few years to prevent beetles in their products. I may start freezing myself, if nothing else but for piece of mind.

I've frozen all my cigars, including LE Tat's that have the thinnest of wrappers, without any issues. Just give them time to acclimate back in the humidor after removing from the freezer. I usually give it 2-3 weeks before I smoke anything I froze.

Re: How to Freeze and the Science behind it. Long Post
I am new here I recently went from a seldom smoker to a little more often . I am 100 miles from any decent B & M's so I got a humidor and ordered a few bundles . I googled up about how to take care of the humidor and cigars . I read article about freezing . When I got my bundles each cigar was in a cello and the bundle wrapped in cello . I put the bundles in several large zip locks . with most air squeezed out . I put them in the fridge for 24 hours then into my small cheapi deep freezer in the basement for 72 hours ... probably over kill . then back to the fridge for 24 then in room temp for 12hr then into the humidor . how dose that sound to you experts ?

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!

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. |

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.
