Preventing tobacco Cigars Beetles

Preventing tobacco Cigars Beetles I hate cigar termites as they are called, commonly known as tobacco beetles. I will never forget my first foray into a box of Cuban Montecristo that these heartless monsters shredded. It seemed that the cigars had been shot from a short distance shooting birds sized pellets. All the care and hard work of becoming more involved in tobacco and cigars handrolling, all the months and years without end of the world, and the eventual purchase price was all a very painful loss of time and money. Absolute disappointment that opening this box of cigars on a special occasion would be. It would certainly ease the mood, and perhaps do some 'dark, especially if there are other serious cigar smokers around that understand what a 2.3 mm happened.The adult tobacco beetle and his brother clones can gash their way through a box of Monte precious is fast like a box of el Cheapo why do not discriminate. If you experience repeated infestations, my advice is to freeze every cigar in your possession. The process is very simple: Make a place in your freezer large enough to accommodate your smokes. Put the cigars, and all the boxes in the freezer for 3 days. Remove from the freezer after 72 hours waiting for transport and the lowest shelf of your refrigerator, the tray, calling on some models. Leave for 24 hours. Do not take in your room, the atmosphere which cause rapid thawing resulting in swelling, which will result in a tear soaked smokes.During waiting for the funeral, is a good idea to clean your humidor with a damp cloth in the hope of capturing a stray in May larva that sits on the floor boxes. Never use detergents or pesticides in your humidor or it will be forever the smell of chemicals used, will be useless for the storage of your cigars. Clean, preferably distilled water is the only source of moisture, you should use for cleaning the walls of your spanish cedar built humidor.Lift the box to the side and brush that down with the cloth, cleaning and soil ' sending the "no-see-ems" in the side panel of the box. Pay particular attention to the last to disappear in this area, cleaning the coers and wiping toward the top of the box, or "out" by opening the lid, and then sending any loose particles of your humidors interior surfaces. If it is small enough, lift general humidor with the lid open and the box upside down. I am an assistant to meet with the cloth and proceed to the box. Another good idea is to use the air compressed by far all the leaders of the future bugs. In any case, you decide to do it, is an important step towards the beetle annihilation so wipe clean and dry and a few others. If even one larva is inside your box, freezer treaties or other cigars that you add, will probably again infested.Since beetles prefer a temperature of 74F and above, you should try to keep your humidifier a value below the range of around 68F-70F, even a little 'cooler is better, as opposed to warmer.Finally, if all else fails and your offer has been ravaged by the insatiable Muncher of puros, there is a course of action. Take the entire infested box, cigars and all, and lay on a pile of buing with kerosene and throw a match on it. This method is obviously expensive, but the cries of those little known devils, and the fact that their reproduction and dissemination of seed of another male smokers stash can become a temptation to set a frustration with tobacco beetles.
