mcease022 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Hi All, I know someone who was into cigars, but is now selling off his collection. He sold his humidor and now has his cigars frozen. Are they ruined now or can freezing actually keep a cigar in quality condition? I am not sure how he prepared them for freezing.
LordAnubis Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Freezing for a few days is ok... but for long term storage? Probably not so much.
earthson Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Problem with long-term freezing is freezers tend to be DRY! If they weren't perfectly airtight, they're liable to be dried out. Plus, in such cold temperatures, I can't imagine the cigars aging much while they were frozen. Will he let you sample a few before buying them? If not, run far away!

He just mentioned before that instead of buying in cuba just buy his since he is not smoking any more. I haven't entertained the offer - I was just curious. My initial thoughts were to forget it, but he does have some limited editions that is why I asked. I don't think I will entertain the offer. Thanks for the replies.
TomF Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Why would he sell the humidor before selling the cigars? That just seems bass ackwards. There was something fishy about the butler. He was a Pisces, probably working for scale.

danny Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Even if airtight, freezer burn is an issue for any organic material. Such low temperatures for extended periods of time isn't good for whatever it may be. If anything, keeping them in the regular refrigerator would've probably done less harm. And better yet in large plastic bags + Boveda packs stored in a cool place. I'm sure the tobacco larva are all dead if they've been stored for that long. Hahaha
