Waiting Period After Freezing

Starscream · 04-16-2009, 06:23 PM

What's the minimum waiting time to smoke a stick after freezing? Is two weeks too early? I've got a sampler (each stick a different label) and am anxious to try 'em out. Should I wait longer?
Opinions?

i would say somewhere close to 1 month

I have to agree with at least a month, and dry box them for a day or two. This seems to work for me.

Normally I wait a while, but with all this Gurkha talk, I'm dying to try out the 5er sampler I recieved from CI.

I think to give the cigar a fair shake you should wait at least a month, Andy.

Two more weeks it is then.

+1 on at least a month. I had to freeze some cigars a while back and smoked one a week after words and it was a month before I thought they were back close to where they should be.
