How Do I Keep a Box of Cubans Fresh Without a Humidor?

[Cigar Penguin]

I wouldn't dare put them in the freezer,I would think it would dry them(freeze dry) and when they thaw say hi to soggy sticks.

I would use a tupaware air tight seal with maybe ziplock bag of the cubans inside it.Maybe throw a small piece of sponge wet from distilled water and a small dry piece too.

Just a thought

You can actually put your cigars in the freezer. That is how you get rid of Beetles. Whe you do freeze them though, you have to bring them back very slowly in the fridge for a few weeks.

And no your cigars will not be soggy when you defrost them. There is not enough moisture in them to make them soggy.

Yes,I knew about the freezer to kill beetles but he doesn't have beetles.


Another cheap method I used is to purchase a humi stick.$7-14 and will keep things between 65 and 70% and can use tap water and not need more water for about 6months.Simple buy,drop in water for two seconds a third of the way up the stick,drop in humi,done.Its the size of a corona.

I know that he doesn't have beetles. I was just saying that you can freeze cigars without ruining them.

Depends on your definition of ruined. I personally dont like smoking flavorless dried out sticks.

Get a few 2 gallon ziplock bags and throw a couple of 65% Boveda paks into each. No fuss, no muss.

the cigar savor sticks they are talking about can be put inside the boxes that your cigars come in and seal each box in a say gallon ziploc bag and bam your done

Realy ! That sounds like a great cheap idea.

Whatever you do, don't freeze the cigars if they don't have beetles. The suggestion of getting large plastic bags and getting the humi paks is the best suggestion I have seen other than getting yourself a cheap cooler and using florist foam.
