I have been resting my cigars for a month or so after I get a delivery. I feel that with the outside temp of the summer these sticks get tourtured on the way to the house. What do you think about temp difference of the delivery truck and its affects on your smokes?

You don't feel that drastic temp change will harm the leaves?

iirc, Perdomo does this to every batch of cigars before they leave his factory as well.

as long as you re-acclimate the cigars to temperature and humidity slowly, it shouldnt damage anything

you just need to be careful about swelling when you bring them back from the depths of your freezer.

if you didnt know, this is a tactic to fight against tobacco beattles.

I do know about beetles. I also know what the cells of a plant leaf do when they get hot then cold then hot. They tear. I believe you would also be losing some of the flavor as you destroy the plant tissue.

There is a difference in how they freeze them though. They do not toss them in a deep freeze, they flash freeze them to an insanely low temperature then slowly bring them back up to storage temps. I'll try to find the thread with the specifics and post the link here.

Damned if I can't find the thread now. Anyone else remember any of the details of freezing that I can't find?
