Guest robertsccr5 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Got a few packages today. Three different vendors, one is my first arrival from FOH. All the cigars look great, however, when I opened the box of Monte 4, on top of the paper I saw a small white bug and instantly wiped it off and killed it. Decided to do a thorough check and found one more, this time on a cigar. No holes at all in any of the cigars. I compared to beetle pictures and it doesn't look like a beetle to me. Any ideas? Regardless, I'm going to follow Rob's freezing method and will only be buying from FOH...still waiting on my Monte Media Corona (seem to be lost in the mail), BBF, and was just confirmed for two boxes of BCJ.

Guest robertsccr5 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Actually, after comparing to termite pictures, you might be correct. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoffmr3 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Looks like a wood mite to me. They won't harm the cigars, but they aren't the best pets to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the freezing will kill them if there are any more? I've already contacted the vendor. Oh and the Monte 4 is the only box I received that had barcodes removed.

hoffmr3 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Freezing should do the trick. Just follow the instructions from Claudius in the linked post. And be sure to keep an eye on any other boxes that came in contact with the affected box, if any. These little buggers can be sneaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkhead Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Agreed looks like woodmites. Had them like 7 years ago. Didn't effect any of the cigars but were still kind of a pain to get rid of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest robertsccr5 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thanks fellas. I'll get them frozen ASAP. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
