Many on this board will deep freeze cigars to ensure no tobacco beetle eggs survive and the cigars taste and smoke just fine. Consider sub-zero transport helping ensure your cigars are beetle free. I jest a bit on beetle free but I'm sure you can see that deep freezing has not harmed the avid collectors supply or they would be the first to complain.

What he said.

In fact, just got an order and put it in the freezer where it will stay for a couple days. Then into the humidor in the box as they came.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

My RH is now at 61% according to my hygrometer right now.

Hmm...

Extra Update: The other day I switched out my two 65% Bovedas for two 69% Bovedas that I have and now even with my refreezable ice blocks in my cooler (sitting stacked beside and not touching my tupperdor) being completely melted right now, I'm hovering between 62-64% RH.

So it looks like I'll just use 69% Bovedas if I'm gonna be dropping a few percentages of RH due to my ice blocks (which I need) anyways.

The sticks are now in my Tupperdor. But how do I use the travel humi??

I assume I can remove the cardboard inserts on top of the cedar linings (that tell you what each cigar in the sampler is) inside the humi right??? But then do I need to season it or anything???

Yes to removing the cardboard inserts and no seasoning required.

Typically, you don't need to add a humidification device if. Your cigars are humidifier properly unless your traveling for more than a few days.

I hope this helps

Can’t say I’ve seen one that small with an electric humidifier, usually a desktop humidor is just fine with beads or a humidity pack, any reason you want it to be electric? Not to mention the fact that even a small cigar oasis would probably be too much for a 150 count box.
