BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Dumb question

Beetles are a tobacco thing ... you can get them in any cigar under the right conditions. I've read where some mfgs were freezing their cigar prior to shipment. I do remember reading that Lew Rothman (of JR's) had a huge freezer in his warehouse.
so another question is spawned does freezing the cigar change the taste, consturdtion, or smokability of the cigar?
I am obviously reffering to after the cigar has thawed

I have no actual experience with this but I'll tell you what I've read in my reseach on the topic.
It depends, bad answer I know, but some people say they haven't noticed a difference and others say they have noticed a difference in their smokes. Most suggest if you feel more secure by freezing them to give it a shot on a small batch of cigars that you are familier with and see what you think after the thawing process. Good Luck!

I know for a fact Padron and Caribe cigars (Camacho) freeze their stock. I have been in both of their warehouses. I would assume most domestic manufacturers do also.
Does it change the flavor? I belong to the camp that says "no". I think that the two brands mentioned above are pretty tasty so how bad can the taste be affected?

I don't know if NC's are treated with anything, I have no knowledge of that. I DO know that I now freeze all cigars that go in my humidor now. I had a MINOR beetle problem, and I don't want to take any chances. I haven't noticed any change in flavor but that's just me.
Some vendors freeze their cigars in their warehouse. I doubt that any vendor would do this if there was any noticeable difference in flavor after freezing.

Yeah thats what I figured the response would be. Just figured I would ask those who know more than I. Luckly I dont have to worry about beatles yet since the contents of my humidor probably cost about the same as the humidor it's self or maybe even less. I'm a cheapy I realy like expensive cigars but I hate buying them and seeing them dissapear.
