    I've never frozen anything and have never seen a beetle. Even if I do encounter a beetle, I don't intend to freeze my cigars, I'll just be more diligent.

    Yeah, freezing something that relies so heavily upon correct humidity seems like a not so great idea. Just my .02.

    I have never, and will never freeze my cigars.. I've never had a problem, so unless it's broken, don't try to fix it.

    I never freeze. If you do then you have to bring them back around just right or your screwed...why risk that kind of waste when in all probability its not necessary..JMO

    I freeze 95% of everything I get and I have never had a problem. A major ccom competitor stated that they freeze everything that they get in because they don't want to take the chance of a beetle outbreak. I have the same routine. I freeze in my deep freezer for 2 - 3 days (sometimes more if I forget they are in there) then I move them to my fridge for 2 - 3 days and they I take them out. I usually have a water pillow in there and that freezes too so when it thaws then cigars are also thawing and there ins't a huge amount of humidity being released and the temps rise to room temp. I think I am ok doing this because they have mostly thawed already and I'm not putting them directly into 90+ temps or even 80+ temps. My room is usually between 70 and 76 degrees so the temp can rise slowly. I have not had a cracked cigar from freezing yet and I have found that the flavor has not changed either.
