I know there are varied ideas about freezing cigars on whether to or not to. I have been asking questions and doing so e online research and it all seems like a mixed bag of results but I would say a few more say not to unless you have a problem.
Here is one excerpt from an article I found.
"Went to a Don Pepin Garcia event yesterday and thought I would run the ref/freezing cigars past him and others that were there.
I am bad with names and appoligize to some. I asked Mr. Garcia his opinion and the roller that was with him through an interpreter. Also asked Jose Ortega that was along and is the new sales VP for Garcia cigars. And the 2 reps that were also there.
Since I only began doing this ref/frez thing last Nov. and some have disgused it here and other forums I thought since I had a chanse to ask the folks who make a living at producing and selling cigars their thoughts, I would.
Well each and everyone of them stated it is not a good thing to do unless you have a beetle problem and a chance to maybe salvage cigars depending on how bad the infultration is. You stand a very high probabilty rate of losing the flavors in the cigars due to the temp and humidty fluctuations. They highly discourage it.
Just thought I would relay their opioions."
I am really unsure at this point and would love to hear a few more opinions as I do regard the members here as the best knowledge base on the web.
I would really appreciate the opinions of the guru's here.
