Lol, go ahead and disregard my rambling.

Froze many a box, never completely shed of air. NEver had any problems whatsoever. Recipe: -10F in my deep freezer for 3 days, 6 hours in the frig, then unpack and store away. Smoke at your leisure. Mr. Biscuit has a valid point - the air is fine. Double-bag and go.

Cryonics (from Greek kryos- meaning icy cold) is the low-temperature preservation of humans and animals who can no longer be sustained by contemporary medicine, with the hope that healing and resuscitation may be possible in the future. Cryopreservation of people or large animals is not reversible with current technology.

Yeah, great. This thread is about freezing cigars. I know you feel you have to post something to justify your vendor links, but can you make that something cigar related?

But is cryopreservation of cigars reversible, Tom? I have heard serious wrapper damage can occur.

Vin, the last time I cryopreserved my cigars, I actually went back in time.

Maybe I'll try that -- I'd like to go back to when I fit into size 36 Levis -- when I was 15.

I enjoyed the past, until I found out there was no microwave popcorn before microwave ovens were invented.

My Mom bought the original Amana microwave when they came out, I think that thing weighed 150 pounds, Michael.

We had one of those too -- it was a "Radar Range"... Big, Clunky, and very cool at the time

It was so big it did not fit on the counter and we had to get a little table for it...

Can you freeze them too long? Reason I am asking is I have some new cigars and my humidor is set to be delivered today. Can I freeze them while I season the humidor?? Or should I wait and store them in tupperware untill I get the humidor squared away and then freeze them for storage?

Just freeze them when they come in, then put them in the tupperware while you wait for the humidor to be ready.

As for too long, depends. A week? Nah. 10 days? Nah. A month? Yeah, probably, but depends a lot on the freezer. Not that it'll physically hurt the cigars so much as they might start to pick up that wonderful "freezer/frost taste" after that long if it's one that cycles tempratures a lot or is opened often (like most home refrigerator/freezer combos).

Do I understand the OP correctly?
At 32 degrees it would take 1176 hours to ensure beetles of all stages are killed?

"0 degrees C Time to 100% mortality 1176 hr"
