Does Cigarbid normally ship this way

That's the way they are shipped.

I usually freeze my cigars for three days following arrival. I then let them rest in the refrigador for a couple of days after that. This is supposed to kill the beetles and eggs that might be in the cigars. Beetles hatch in temps ovver 70 degrees.

I don't think damage from the heat would apply to cigars shipped and recieved in a few days.

I agree with Sarge... Plus they are either tightly wrapped in plastic, or shipped in a zip lock bag. That will keep in the moisture for that short time they are in transit. Just to be safe, though - I generally let them rest about a week to stabalize in my humi before I smoke them...

It is only a couple days, so I wouldn't worry to much about it. But as they said, if I were you I'd let them set a little while in the humi.

Ok thanks everyone. I'm gonna do the freezer/rest in refrigerator thing then put them in a humidibag (to isolate them from my humidor) and wait and see.
