I almost was heading to Madison, to do safety training/etc for TDS Telecom, but I switched jobs. I already had planned on reaching out, but not for a B&B, just a few cigars/drinks

I wanted some fat cigars, and I had a couple of these and they were decent. Plus, I'm a sucker for a good sale (and I had a coupon) and free shipping and I needed something to start filling up this newest humidor.

Already wishing I bought a box of the LGC Belux instead of a fiver to try first.

woo-hoo! Just got this partial bundle of Johnny-O SigVi! Now my experience with CCs are from a decade ago but I do have a good memory and these are spot on! Smell just like the old days whenever I first opened a cab. Now to rest in the freezer for a bit before aging these bad boys in the igloodor. I will def be getting more!

just in case of tobacco beetles.Why freezer?
I’m sure you meant into the refrigerator first for several days, then the freezer for several days, then back in the fridge for a few more days, then to the humi. I ALWAYS put my fresh rolls into boxes (preferably cabs). You will have 2 main benefits for doing this, 1. You isolate the damage if you do not kill the beetles (larvae, eggs, etc) and 2. You will allow the cigars to age properly, marrying the flavors, oils, etc…woo-hoo! Just got this partial bundle of Johnny-O SigVi!

Thanks for that. Learn something new all the time. So I just threw them in the freezer without the rest time in the fridge. They were in the freezer for 24 hours and I’ve moved them to the fridge now where I’ll keep them for a few days as suggested. Hope I didnt do too much damage by not acclimating the cigars first .I’m sure you meant into the refrigerator first for several days, then the freezer for several days, then back in the fridge for a few more days, then to the humi.
