Cigar Cyrogenic experts wanted

[Simon Bolivar]

This aging process is no joke. I put my cigars that I bought in St Kitts in the fridge for 2 days & then in the freezer for three days, intending them to go in the fridge for 2 days before putting them in the Boli Cave.

I just remembered this & the cigars have been frozen for over 2wks! I have never found a problem with post frozen cigars but 2 wks sounds a hell of a long time. I just messaged the Wife & she has taken them out of the freezer & they are now in the fridge. I'd ask if anyone has frozen cigars for more than a week but of course no one is that crazy/forgetful?

No help on the cryogenics from me I'm afraid but I'm interested to hear of cigars in St Kitts, anything/anywhere in particular, you'd recommend?

Yes, there's a LCDH just inside the Duty Free Area, in the port. I'll expand tomorrow, time for bed.

Family emergency resulted in a long stay in the freezer ... phoned a friend who moved them to the fridge ... long stay in the fridge ... then I got home . Total of about two weeks also (freeze and fridge).

They were ‘12 RG perlas so I haven’t smoked any yet ... physically they look fine .

sorry I can’t help you with taste or performance .

Cheers Derrick, I'll wish you good luck with yours too, I suspect after a month or two in the Boli Cave they'll be fine but sure glad I finally twigged, if I hadn't found them until I got home it would have been 4-5wks in the freezer month, surely not a good thing. I will report in due course on how they smoke, for future reference.

I heard once that some people think freezing cigars for long periods like a month makes then taste like they have been aged in a humidor for years.

Hmm, well I'll give that idea a miss Shaun, never heard that before but sounds highly unlikely.

Well it could certainly help break some of the tabacco cell structure.

I think you've ruined them Simon. I will offer to dispose of them for you free of charge to save you any further trauma.

Mcdee, who said the Scottish aren't generous? I appreciate your kind offer, you know that I only like to share my finest aged stock with my friends
