I'm just glad to hear that you caught it so soon. and congrats on the wineador. Its the only way to go!

I hadn't frozen anything either. And you better believe I went through EVERY. SINGLE. STICK. after I found these two. I would hope you never have the issue with the wineador...I mean that's basically the point of having one. I will probably start a freezing routine moving forward.

yeah when I moved to Florida the wineador really wasnt an option anymore. It was a necessity. But my concern is getting cigars in the mail and them sitting in a hot mail truck or the mailbox for a long period of time. If a cigar is infected I wonder if that could get the beetle train rolling enough where it would be too late even if I immediately put it in the wineador. just scary stuff to think about especially when you have a rather large and expensive collection.

One thing I don't like when ordering cigars online is that the smokes may sit baking or steaming in a van for hours at a time in hot humid weather.
Remember how warm a delayed flat rate box can feels when you get it on a ninety plus degree day?

same thin hapens with that B&M order

A thread on here a few months ago convinced me to start freezing EVERYTHING...

Just too much to risk. I have a wineador and they keep cool, but someone on here mentioned that they have seen outbreaks happen even in cooler temps.

I slammed my laptop shut and ran down to my humidors and started the freezing process. Lol.

My wife informed me that she wishes that SHE could get me to move that fast.

Glad you caught it early and it was not a total, heartbreaking tragedy!
