For the smokes though, put them in freezer bags, air tight (you can suck the air out with a straw).
Tony is right though, I would freeze the humidor too (or just throw it away and get some tupperware with an air tight seal).
At -17c, 3 days would probably do it, 5 days, they will all be dead for sure.
You guys are just fuggin' BRUTAL, I tell ya ! 🤦
Sa3ad1983 . . . In all seriousness, there is some valid advice for you in this thread. 👍
BTW, the freezing info 👍

Ya, but i knew it was coming... this guy reeks of the metric system...
don't back down. Trust your intuition.
And y'all shot down the only chance you'll prolly ever have of befriending .... uh .... uh .... I'll never forget ol whazz-hiz-name
But the advice was good and sound, I was gonna suggest a can of raid and a torch lighter. I hope he chooses the freezer method
Clearly a telemarketer, link spammer, scammer or a complete and total internet noob.
Not sure which one he is yet...

Lastly, letters and numbers are a terrible combination for a forum handle and the guys around here are gonna hate it... take my advice, introduce yourself as insect boy...
I like salad boy better.

Pack them loosely in zippered plastic bags, ensuring a very tight seal, and place them in the refrigerator for a few hours. Once they're cool all the way through, put them into the freezer for 24 to 48 hours. After that, place them back into the refrigerator for a day or so to gradually "thaw." By then, they'll be perfectly ready to go back into your humidor, but bonus points if you put them in a cooler before returning them to general population.
Even after they're back in your humidor, it's advisable to give them another few weeks to recover their humidity before smoking them.
I've even smoked them before pretty much straight out of the freezer... though YMMV on this one (wouldn't do it with anything good).
