My air conditioner died...

What do you expect your ambient temperatures to be during the heat wave (both highs and lows). It may be that your cigars will be fine for the duration.

Your cigars will proably be fine just as they are.

Michael is wise.

A couple days of heat aren't going to hurt your cigars Darren. They were initially transported from a tropical location to the US (or wherever for CCs) by ship in a container. And I guarantee you that it wasn't a refrigerated container. That's like a week of being baked.

Thanks Adam! I would have thought they were flown in. At any rate, I'm not gonna panic.

Some might be flown in, but for the most part the sheer volume of production makes this impractical and very expensive. Most NC factories crank out millions of cigars per year, Cuban factories aren't really open about their production numbers, but they're supplying the rest of the world, so it probably ain't a small number.

So just why the hell does everyone run out of my favorites!


Thanks Adam, you are always a font of wisdom.
