Most of the cigars I’ve had for months or longer. And the new additions either came from a cigar bar or the grocery store. How long does it take for this to show itself, assuming this is a beetle?
Been a while since I last researched it but I used to be super paranoid about it and froze everything but I have not been as good about that as I used to be. From what I vaguely remember is the dormancy period for eggs is quite long but they only hatch when temperatures rise to a sufficient level I believe in the 80's. If I found one I would freeze 3verything and try to inspect all my sticks this is easier for some than others. Also what humification do you use because I believe once they exit the go for that. But again been a while since I worried about that.
