Exactly my suggestion.I had a beetle outbreak a few years ago.Froze everything 3-4 days and now nothing goes in the humidor til it's been properly frozen.....NOTHING.

I watched a YouTube of Nick Perdomo talking freeze all their cigars but the trick is bring them back up to temp.

I've heard lots of stuff,fridge to freezer to fridge,freezer to fridge......I place mine directly in the freezer,72-80 hours later they come out and go straight in my humidor.Never been a problem

I do allow them a few weeks recovery time before smoking them.

Never from Cbid or for that matter any online supplier. I have had beetles once and that when I brought back a handful of Cuban cigars from Mexico. I had to gut the humidor and freeze the remaining unaffected cigars... night mare that was.

I got a box of cigars with four beetles in it, and they were all close together, but then another small insect, later identified as a Yokobug, came over and started flirting with one of the four beetles, and then they all went their separate ways. It was terrible.

Oh, and the Yokobug makes a horrible screeching sound when it tries to sing. Just awful.

I have never subjected a single cigar to the dehumidification process that is the freezer. Never.

Never had a beetle problem, either. Found a couple with holes in 'em... tossed 'em... no issues.

I have an extremely large collection acquired over the course of 20 years.

Never froze a single cigar ever.

any freezer breakage is way better than opening up your humidor to find everything you own is being eaten by beetles.
