I hope it isn't what I think. If it is this my first time. I found a cigar in one of my humis with a near perfectly round hole in the wrapper. Please tell me it's not tobacco beetles. If so, should I freeze all cigars in that humidor or what. A few pointers from ccom would help too. I got a pic but not sure how to post it. Thanks

Email me the pic...i will post it for you....send it to aquadgio1@aol.com....the BOTL's will diagnose the problem

After close review if the picture...it definately looks like the cigar bettle has taken over your cigar

Could be a beetle. I'd freeze that stick and inspect all the others/ If you see it on another, freeze them all.

Agreed. Definitely take that stick out of your humi, and keep it away from the others. At this point, freezing would probably be a good idea, because if your humi had the right elements to cause beetles in one stick to hatch, it could cause the same in the other sticks.

How are the conditions in your humidor? Hows the inside temp and humidity?

That picture scares me. I need to go check all mine now.

I had a problem last week with my humidity dropping to 60% last week but got it pulled back up and stable. The temp has been at 70. The humidor in question is where I keep my singles so I froze them all and wiped out the inside with a dry cloth real good. Do I need to do anything specific to the humi or will wiping it out be sufficient?

Good news, sort of anyway. It hit me around 6 this morning that cigar was in a travel humi for a while. I had taken it out the day before I noticed the hole so I figured it couldn't have happened in my home humi and I was right. After close inspection of the travel humi I found the remains of the little booger so I put the travel humi in the freezer along with the other cigars that were with it. I've never had real problems with my humis at home, nothing I couldn't fix quickly anyway, so I'm relieved that's not it. I have learned my lesson.

What temperatures are bad? I stay around 70 to 74 degrees in my house. 74 is not the norm but an occasional high. I get a pretty steady 70-72 degrees. I just wonder at what point is your temperature dangerous to your gars.

If you start getting close to 80, then I'd start worrying.

Wow,good thing that this was a small isolated incident. Im gonna go inspect my stash now.

I friggin hate these kinds of posts, because I start getting paranoid and go into disaster mode. But I'm glad that it was an isolated incodent, and you didn't end up losing a bunch of your cigars.
