Thread: Holes In Cigars!!

ALL cigars can contain weevil eggs. If you have them hatching on you, your temperature and humidity are probably too high in your humidor.

I used to just smoke-um. A little chitin is good for your Ol Johnson, er joint…

i dont think it is....my temp is around a 68 at the moment and doesnt go higher than that and ive been around 65-70 for humidity.

i read up on the beetle today and it says they can hatch in low a 60's temperature also so i guess i just have to hope for the best.

lol im tempted to try and smoke one but the fact that one looks like swiss cheese just irritates me and i wont be able to relax! lol

I'd get the ones with holes out asap and throw them out. They wont draw right and do you really want to smoke bugs (dead or alive) not to mention their waste?

Sorry, I mean to add put the bags in the coldest part of your freezer and if you have control of the temp set it as low as possible. Most home freezers don't have cold enough temps to crack the eggs but will kill the larva. Good luck.

The freezer and fridge rotation is over. In the end I threw away around 5 cigars.

I kept the rest in the ziploc bags still and I'll be watching them for the next week to see if any more holes appear.

I hope it's all over and done with. Lol or else I'm gonna have to smoke 30 cigars real quick lol.
