summertime question

[dpricenator]

Send them to your office or PO box, so they don't sit out tin the sun all day. But rmember if I'm sending you smokes from CA in July. They are going to be in a truck, that gets really hot for the next couple of days anyway. I have been freezing new smokes and shipments for a while now. Does not seem to affect my smokes, at all.

That's what I was wondering about. Im thinking of picking up 2 of the same cigars, and freezing one, and putting one in my Humi, then smoke em for comparison.

Supposedly Habanos should no longer have beetles in them (since ~2005) because the warehouses freeze them before shipping; but I wouldn't take it for granted.

In the past 4 years, I have never had a beetle problem. My office is in the Palm Springs area and that is where everything is shipped. Even in my house, the temp is around 80*...That means the cab and the desktops are around the same temp.

With that said, I'm not a big trader, box splitter, etc. I don't/won't put potential problems in my cab or Prometheus desktop (the good stuff). If somebody gives me a cigar, I put it in one of the yard gars humidors. If it is a good cigar and nothing is growing on it after a while, I will throw it into my good humis.

I agree with you Jason, I quarantine everything I buy, whether it's on line or in a store. It just seems like a reasonable precaution.
