I left my gars in my wife's car for 35+ hours. :-)

We went to UT, for a few days so I loaded up the 15 ct. traveldor. I smoked one cigar while out there. I guess we were just 'too busy' to sit down and smoke. fast forward to yesterday. We unloaded the car, and I thought we grabbed everything out of her car. I guess not. I left my gars in my wife's car for 35+ hours. I think we got to 115 degrees outside. That makes the car about 180 degrees.

Should I just toss them? Do you think any of them exploded? Smoke 'em? Punch myself in the groin? DOH!!!

Just let them rest in the traveldor for a few weeks inside in the A/C and they should be fine. Throw out ones that have exploded or whatever but I am sure they will be fine. Cigars are very resilient. :-) If they taste bad then toss them but otherwise enjoy them. You can open the humi and check on them if you want as I am sure it would be good for them to get the hot air out anyways.

Try to nurse them back to health. Think about those packages going through the mail that sit in the heat at various points in its travels.

+1 I forgot about that. Though packages from US vendors can take a while too, some brothers dabbling in the dark arts didn't receive their packages for 3 months and they were able to nurse them back to health I believe.

They should be fine brother!! Just let the rest for a little while.

Worst case if your worried about beetles put 'em in the freezer for 24 hrs then put them back in rotation in your humi...they'll be fine.

This is exactly right, everything takes about 7-14 days to get to me and that includes a lot of sitting on the tarmac and out in the heat on trucks. I have been able to enjoys everything sent. :-)

bury them at the bottom of a humidor and forget about them for a couple months

only 35 hours, they are fine. Cigars aren't that fragile

Thanks guys, I'll quit worrying. I placed them in their own area of my humi. Isolating them.

I did get to smoke a Cao Italia while in UT. I was planning on smoking the Brazil next, but just never got to it.

Just let them rest in the humi... :-)

I'm not sure what is worse...leaving them in the car for that long, or referring to them as "gars".

I didn't know this was faux pas. Please forgive me Your Highness. :-)

They're probably not any good. Just pack them in a box and bomb Larry (Ogre)!:-)
