What’s your process for the freezer ? ROTT? How do you go about it

ROTT= right off the truck, meaning smoked very fresh after shipping and without being acclimated in the humidor.
Everyone has different methods to freeze cigars to kill beetle larva. I triple ziplock a bundle of cigars, suck out all the air out it the bags with a straw, and toss in the fridge to slowly bring them to a colder temperature. Some people skip this step and toss right into the freezer. I like to reduce the shock. After sitting in the fridge for a few hours I then put them into the freezer. Usually 3-4 days or more depending on how cold your freezer can get. If you have a commercial deep freezer you can keep them in for a day or so. I posted a research study about killing tobacco larva and temperatures and times needed to do so. After the freezer I then put them back into the fridge to begin the thaw. This can prevent wrappers from splitting. After 6 hours or so I’ll take them out to room temperature. Then after 6-8 hours I’ll introduce the cigars back into the humidor. Hope this helps. Everyone will have slightly different steps, but that’s the idea.

It is always so shameful to see with how much unapologetic hubris Pete Johnson is continually making use of the Cuban heritage by copying their designs.

Respectfully, I don't believe Pete Johnson holds an ounce of hubris towards Cuban heritage or cigar culture.  I know his love of older Cuban cigars is what led him to Don Pepin and helped develop a Cuban style cigar for the US market.  I like many of the blends, but prefer the Havana Cazadores the most.   They were way better than most of the other cigars being offered in the late 90s and early 2000s for me.  And I appreciate the design simplicity.   If a simple band and a simple SLB presentation with a date code is hubris, then I'll take it. SO much better than all-covering neon bands that scream "buy me".
