bugg4672 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Afternoon brothers, I have a question. I opened my big cabinet humidor about 5 minutes ago and was looking over my stock. I have been over indulging in my CC lately and decided to get a NC. I picked a Gurkha Black Rose, I was given about 50 of these a year back and have stored them and decided to have one now, as I removed it from the cellophane I noticed a little round hole. I cut it open and found a live white little maggot looking larva maybe 1/8" long. Since it was in cellophane should I be worried about the rest of m stock? I took a quick glance at others and did not see anything. I have about 3800 sticks in this humidor.

bigben Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Since you found a live beetle I would freeze every cigar in the cabinet. Just to be safe. 1
bugg4672 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Posted August 23, 2015 Yeah I just smoke about 1/2" of it and it SUCKS! No wonder they were given to me for free. Like my daddy use to say "nothing is ever free, if it is it's not worth a CRAP!"
bugg4672 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Posted August 23, 2015 The larvae is doing you a favor. Ill use the Gurkha as bait to keep them away from my CC section.
garbandz Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Ill use the Gurkha as bait to keep them away from my CC section. You know beetles can eat thru cello,of course.......... positive side is you will have room for 50 GOOD cigars,when you dispose of the Gurkha ha ha......... 50 free Gurkha? You Overpaid............ 1
CaptainQuintero Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 If it was me I'd 100% freeze everything in the humidor now, pain in the but less painful than worst case scenario. Always remember to freeze any NC you get, they are not treated to the same prices as modern Cubans.
Ryan Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 You'll have a hard time getting 3,800 cigars into any freezer. Get ziplock bags and bag them up, then leave them in the humidor. Freeze in batches. It'll take you a while but the only way to be absolutely sure. Alternatively, leave them in the ziplock bags and check them every few weeks for a year or so. If there is no more beetle activity in the year, you have no more beetles.
