I got into cigar collecting after my sister went to Cuba and bought me back a box of MC4s many years ago.
Got into collecting buying online from various sources. Stopped and wound down the collection for a few years as it was becoming a bit of a habit. Starting to get back into it again in a more controlled way, having a humidor cabinet made for the collection. A friend went to Cuba recently and at my request bought back a 25 box of CoRos and 20 Siglo VIs. They're sat in my large cooler box with 65% HF beads. I've also suffered from mold in the past but that was when using 70% beads hence on the 65% now.
Wondering whether I should have frozen them after reading about cigars direct from Cuba and beetles? I would worry about the wrappers cracking from the freeze thaw? And flavour being imparted from food already in the freezer? Any thoughts? Also is there a consensus on a good inexpensive hygrometer? My old ones seem to be shot!
