Re: temperature leeway?

On another note. About 2 years ago I read the "Idiots Guide to Cigars" (which is currently being passed around). That book suggested that freezing cigars will dry them out. It suggested vacuum sealing them, as opposed to freezing. Apparently the beetle eggs cannot stand pressure, and for the most part MOST manufacturers vacuum seal their cigars before they ever get distributed. Is this true? I hear people talking about freezing all the time, but I always remember back to that book which specifically says freezing is a 100% myth. (it will kill eggs, but also dry out the cigar)

I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes at ALL. I'm just curious to know the science behind this whole ordeal.
