CigarB Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi All, I know I've read some members don't have cigars shipped during the warm seasons to avoid the possible issues high temperatures have on cigars. I wanted to see what the overall feel was related to this. In many instances the shipping origination and destination are in two polar opposite seasons, so does it even matter to try and combat the high temps? Would like know your own experiences and if it's safe to have stock shipped throughout the year. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanTR Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I live in a part of the world where for about 4 months, we have 100+ degree temps. I've never had any problems and would ship during the summer without even thinking twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigFish Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I have bought cigars from all over the world and had them shipped during all months of the year. Cigars are stout soldiers with a great constitution. As long as they are packaged in such a way that they can't dry out over the duration, I think they are okay. Do you think the folks in Cuba refrigerate your cigars? -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcheek Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 These answers are interesting. I use to refrain from summer shippments, but may worry less about this in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And a mighty good one, may I playfully add.) Consistency over time mate! Just for consistency over time! My home can range 30 degrees in the spring and fall, otherwise I would not waste my time.

CigarB Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 I appreciate the confirmation, now I don't feel the need to ration my smokes or go off the deep end and start hoarding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc8436 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Not really too worried about summer shipments. I'm a bit more cautious and will freeze sticks if I feel the need to. I have 2 smaller desktop humidors in addition to my main one, so I use the desktops to "quarantine" the new cigars for a while before putting them inside the main humidor. This is something I do year-round to avoid the dreaded beetle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers72 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I don't worry about it either. Let's say hypotheitically that you lived in the Northern Hemisphere but you ordered from somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere. If you order during the cooler months here, it is warm there and vice versa so you aren't really accomplishing anything by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechenman Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I live in the Northeast and don't even give it a second thought. I'll take delivery of cigars during any season. Wine has proven to be an issue at times when not packed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOORJOK Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Never thought about it. But My office I keep my Humi in does fluctuate in temp from about 10-20 degrees during the season. So it has been a problem in my little controlled environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
