[Tour De Cigar]

excellent point my friend, but im here to tell you first hand I read alot and mostly sites are saying similar things the same way, but at the same time I run across some site that contradicts what I just read.. I lot info are subjective.. for example some sites or some expert might say keep on the cello on your stogie and others will say take them off... another good example is a lot of people say aging is good.. but the man him self pepin garcia says aging is not necessary you should smoke your cigar fresh.. I can go on and on.. but to your question about freezing I havent done this yet, but a lot of botl do it... also a few manufacturing do it also before releasing there cigars to the public one big name I know that does it is the Fuentes family... yep the opus and all their brands get freeze before you smoke them... so aging and freezing are subjective.., but a known fact freezing kills the beetle eggs....

It is all a matter of preference.
I don't think anyone is right or wrong.
Just different perspectives on different ways of doing things.

I don't care about temperature, just humidity. Some go nuts over temperature.
I store all my cigars in boxes, some don't like doing that.
I store my tubed cigars in their boxes still in tubes, some don't like doing that.
My dad and Pepin did a speech for all on how nuts anyone is to smoke an aged cigar that according to them is only good for the garbage, some enjoy this aged and significantly toned down profile much more.

None of the above is wrong. None is right. It is all a preference and at the end of the day, that is all that really matters. It's a preference.
