Some freeze all. Many freeze some. I freeze few....

I freeze none...hoping it doesn't bite me in the arse one day. I have heard mixed reports on freezing. Specifically something to do with home units not getting cold enough to really do anything; not sure how true this is...I forget where I read it...one of these cigar sites, but they went in to great detail. Made me a believer.

as I said, studies are mixed.....BUT, if beetles are any concern at all, there's no harm (IMO) in freezing and some risk in not doing so....I've NEVER heard someone say that they got beetles from cigars that they had frozen

How long do you have to thaw out your cigars afterward? Probably a few months?

My freezer sits about -3 f. I freeze for 72 hours (sometimes I forget they're in there). Like dstieger I use zip lock bags, then I suck the air out with a straw. I don't use the fridge as an intermediary, straight in the freezer directly to the humidor. I've never had any problems with this method, again, personal preference.

As far as how long I let them rest, depends on the cigar, and the only way to know is smoke one right out of the freezer 😃

rfenster freezes all of his smokes.

I've done some. I do it more often if they've traveled a long distance in warm weather.
No need to refrigerate after.

Good to smoke a week or so later if they "feel" ok.
Do the squeeze thing and decide.

You would be surprised.

I usually smoke one out of the freezer just out of some sick and twisted ritual, and they usually smoke just fine (I'm not going to lie, have had issues doing it in the past... but I just don't GAF :)

So you're probably better off listening to frank on this one, he's way smarter than me.

They are really good.
Only down side is you start smoking too many of "those" types of cigars, inevitably cigars you used to like?..........well, for some reason, many of them simply are not as good as they used to be.

I don't know, I went on a kick and I was smoking primarily CCs for a while, then I just kinda got burned out on that floral taste. I've found that I prefer Ecuador grown wrappers more.

Actually been getting into Connecticuts more too.

Something I learned here when I was a wee noob, but was a little bit hesitant to believe, is that your tastes change over time... well, I'm a believer now.

So I would say smoke them without worry, if you go on a CC kick and you never get off it, no big deal, there's cheap CCs too.

Don't get me wrong with all that I said, I still do love CCs, just not as often ;)

I think you may find the Davidoff's a bit mild given your other "likes". 🇨🇮

^ this.

They do make some stronger cigars though, like their Nicaraguan and the Lounge selection (excellent smoke) come to mind. The Yamasa is on the stronger side too, but I didn't care for it much.

Try one, Bro! The Bolivar Royal Corona and Belicoso Fino are among my fave Cuban cigars.

Like bgz said, the flavor profile will be milder, floral and sweeter, especially compared to the LP 9, Tats and Opus that you favor. Most cc's are on the mild side, but with unique flavors unlike most other mild/med cigars from other places.
