    One of the best articles I have read on the "Beetle Plague".

    That was a good article. I wouldn't think it would take 4 days in deep freeze to kill the beetles and larvae.

    I guess if you wanted to keep the boxes, the only safe way would be to freeze them.

    I read an article some time back on a "taste test" done on previously frozen vs non-frozen cigars. The result was that the effect was minimal to non-existent. In fact, there are lots of smokers who freeze everything before they go into their humidor. Just be sure to move them from the freezer into the fridge for a day before they go back so they don't crack or split.


    ...and I'd freeze the boxes, too.
