cigar beetle question

[jp1979]

based on my post and a few others here, I'm feeling like gran habano doesn't freeze.

I would most likely agree with that

So my cigars came out of the chest freezer last night.

Check on them this AM and all looks great.

How long should I let them rest before I smoke any of them?

I'd give them at least a couple weeks to re-acclimate. But if you're anxious to smoke, go ahead and try one now to see what you think.

Every cigar I acquire gets the deep freeze treatment before it ever sees the inside of my cigar storage. No matter where it came from. It takes a little time but its worth it.

A lot of companies don't freeze finished cigars. They freeze the tobacco before it's rolled and then fumigate the rolled cigars.

I was digging around in a humidor when I came across a box of Arganese Cafe that I bought a couple of years ago and there was tobacco debris inside the outer cello wrap! I immediately stripped the cello and the brushed off the debris (before thinking of this thread). I hope that the pics show, I changed to FireFox mode per @BryGuySC (thanks Bryan).

A couple of specks remain on the bottom left corner of the box. There were a lot more before I brushed it off.


This is how they are packed! Surrounding the light cardboard inner box is an inch deep (or more) of cigar leaf remnants (I presume) that are in great shape, properly moist and ready to be used in some pipe mixtures . At a guess, 2-3 ounces.


This is the Arganese Cafe, (had them before - a very mild but flavorful, morning cigar) complete with pigtail and shaggy foot.

Beetles can hatch and multiply in the 60s F. That temp merely slows em down. If you wanna know if your sticks have viable eggs, put them in 85 degree temps for a month or two.

Literally. Take a stick or two that is suspect, put it in a plastic bag with a boveda and leave it in a warm place and watch it.
