Re: Tobacco Beetles and Baggies?
This one says something about tin foil and it is from University of Nebraska.

I don't know if it is the same beetle? |
Re: Tobacco Beetles and Baggies?
I read it on the internet. It must be true.
:rolleyes: |

Edit: It should be added though that you could be right and this information could be false. I am just saying that at least it is from a University instead of somewhere not as credible. |

I would hope you actually read the thread to see where the claims were being made before blindly jumping in with both feet. |
Re: Tobacco Beetles and Baggies?
I found a kind of cool study that looked at traces of metal in the mandibles of the cigar beetles. No mention of them chewing THROUGH metal though. I only skimmed it so someone with more time can look but doing a search for the word metal popped up alot of info on traces in their mandibles.
http://ddr.nal.usda.gov/bitstream/10...ND23316635.pdf Edit: This article suggests that they cannot eat through metal. (I am not saying the above does, I am just throwing some more articles and research out). Quote:

Re: Tobacco Beetles and Baggies?
If a cigar has been aged for three years, would that be long enough for the eggs to die?

Re: Tobacco Beetles and Baggies?
Here are some close pics of my pet beetles. Unless they are a kin to billy goats I'm calling bs on the tubos.

I'm a better safe than sorry guy -- so I freeze EVERYTHING -- including my previously frozen sticks if I take them to a herf and someone hands me a cigar that I end up throwing in my herf-a-dor. I am NOT screwing with my collection if I can help it. It's one thing to have a box of cigars confiscated, but to lose a box (boxes) which have successfully made it into my humidor? I would kick my own ass into next week. |
Re: Tobacco Beetles and Baggies?
I've been looking into this beetle setting through a tube and mortality rates for the eggs and I too can't find much info on either at room temp.
I think it's widely agreed on that freezing everything is the best preventive mesure but it is still not a 100% percent that you will not have a beetle hatch and ruin a stick or 2. I believe that if you choose to freeze everything you should still check your stock fromtime to time and make sure everything is still good. I "play" with my stash every few weeks and I use that time to look over some sticks, reorginize, and inspect my sticks. Keep the temps as low as possible and the humidity in "range" and you should not have to worry about a beetle outbreak let alone them eatting through a tube. :tu |

I recall it being only like 2 or 3 pics of a silver tubo. With one small hole in it. Oh well. |

Re: Tobacco Beetles and Baggies?
Ok, I think I found what I had remembered:
http://www.vitolas.net/albums/userpi...yj_beetles.jpg There is a small something or other on the tube above the "A" in Julieta. I can't say that it is a beetle hole. So I guess I remembered it wrong. My bad. |
Re: Tobacco Beetles and Baggies?

I ran a full CSI Miami analysis on the picture and it appears the hole was actually made by Luke Skywalker. From the reflection on the tubo it looks like the photographer had a sandwich for lunch and still had some lettuce on his mustache. ;) |
