I have a huge number of cigars and have been collecting them since forever, haven't frozen anything, and have never had a single problem.
24x7x365 climate-controlled room (between 60-67 degrees F) and 2-way humidity control, both permanently in effect.
I really think the temperature control is the key. If you cap temperatures where I do, it's lilkely that nothing will ever happen beetle-wise.
Some of you guys might burn me at the stake for saying this, but I have my doubts about whether or not freeezing really is as benign and harmless as its proponents claim. When you really think about it on a chemical and physics level, it's quite possible that it may reduce flavor or cause other problems, even if the magnitude of the damage is subtle, and thus hard to directly measure.
Just my two cents.
