I wanted to share my first experience freezing cigars.

With so many opinions out there on freezing, I made the personal choice to do it. Given a recent CI order that took several days to ship, I was even more inclined. First step was to purchase the Ziplock freezer bags. I found these vacuum freezer bags at Walmart. Ordered the pump through Amazon Now for $4. which came with 3 or 4 quart size bags. Good deal.


Ready to freeze:


Showing here how nice the vacuum seal works without crushing the sticks.


Packed most of my cigs leaving a few days worth in the humi. The rest went into the fridge for a 6 hours, then freezer for 55 hrs. (I overslept, don't judge me bro), then back to fridge for 24 hours, then room temp for 10 hours. Probably a bit overkill but no harm done. Sticks came out fine and back in the humi to settle for 2 weeks minimum. Overall it was a fun experience for this newbie.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the group. How are they smoking?
My pleasure to share (and learn). Just went into the humi today so I plan on waiting 2 weeks, maybe sooner if suggested. RH% is holding nice around 67% @ 71-degree F.
