asc Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 » » »sorry, one hole in one cigar! LOL at Jay...that was my first thought too. How many cigars are in the Humi? I would consider freezing the stock if there are a fair amount. How to take care of the actual humi though...I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudius Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 » I found one beetle whole in my humidor, what you you recommend?:-| Inspect everything that's in the same humidor. Look at all the cigars, open all the boxes, make sure you know how many damaged cigars you have. Throw damaged cigars away. Freeze all the cigars, boxes, humidifier, everything that's in the humidor. Best would be, if possible size wise, to freeze the whole humidor. Double ziploc everything before freezing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 » »The hole is in the cigar itself, not the humidor and about the size of a pinhead. The location is on the top shelf of a 2 level cabinet which contains about 200 total cigars, 50 of which surround the cigar with the hole in it. I have just triple bagged them in a freezer bag and placed into the freezer. Further inspection yields no other visible holes in the remaining stock. Thanks to all for your assistance, have never dealt with this one before. Wish me luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Good luck. I keep a dedicated freezer, able to reach -15 degrees F, near my humidor. I've used it a couple times. No collection, especially if it includes "vintage" cigars, is entirely safe. Freeze dem buggers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltPointer Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 yikes, Mike. Sounds like you caught it in time . . . I'll keep my fingers crossed. I'll be up there to see you guys in another couple of weeks, and we can burn a few in celebration of your quick action. :-) Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it had to do with elevated temps/humidity, as you know, we just went through moving things around in this newly renovated house and the humi was one item that got moved. Looking forward to the visit, I picked up another bottle of HC while fishing in Baja. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami101 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Oh no!!!!! Quick send me your addresss and I will come over and help you ASAP. We will need a good lighter, and something nice to drink.....After a few cigars I know for sure if you have bug's.....JK This will work if you have a industrial freezer: Double ziploc everything before freezing it! Questions: You stated you see a hole in you humi.....? Is this correct...do you have a photo? Just for the record I have never seen a beetle get in from outside the humi....Check you humi to see if you find this kind of beetles. Did you mean you see holes in your cigars.......? Do you have a photo? Are the holes big, or small? Do you keep a mix of cigars in your Humi? Buy Mix I mean cigars from different countries?
