While the cigars are in the freezer, clean your humidor with a vacuum. Leave it empty and open for at least a week. The beetles will die without its food source, the tobacco.

Re: This isn't a beelte, right? Right?
In the 23+ years I've collected and smoked cigars, I've found the tell-tale sign of beetles twice. Both times were single cigars. All other cigars in the box (other singles) were frozen, the box was cleaned, and never had further problems.

Re: This isn't a beelte, right? Right?
Just for reference, how long to freeze and.....when you thaw, how are the sticks after thawing? And how long does it take? Does the freeze/thaw cycle cause any damage? Do the sticks taste 'normal.' Just curious.

No luck.

The others are in the freezer. Still not convinced it was a beetle, scares me to think they could hatch in my office, which rarely gets above 70 degrees

Thanks all for your responses!
I am with the majority here. Freeze the cigars and clean out the humi as suggested. There are always exceptions, I've heard beetles hatching in Vinotemps too! This maybe a case of taking a cigar home that already had a beetle in it! Best of luck.

That's the case about 99% of the time.
