I wish they would...

On an episode of Good Eats on the Food Network, Alton Brown showed how strawberries can not be frozen just by sticking them in the freezer, because when they dethaw, their molecular structure starts to break down. He then showed that you can freeze them in the way that you stated, by setting them in a freezer type container and setting dry ice in with them. It "flash freezes" them, keeping the molecular structure intact when they thaw.
If I can get some dry ice, I will try this with a cigar I smoke often (so I can know the taste profile ahead of time, and what to expect), and post the experience.

If you ever bought anything from JR you know what a frozen cigar is like after it's been thawed...I read somewhere that they freeze everything that comes through their door, and they use the large sub-zero industrial freezers for all of it...if anyone knows otherwise please correct me if I am wrong...Fyodor said:Please do Nobel, I have often wondered about the cigar's taste staying intact. Freezing them seems like such a harsh thing to do to them.
