OK!
Through the freezer they go! Told the wife to work around them & don't set the Xmas ham on them. So glad to learn this the easy way and not the 'hard' way. Thanks for all the great info! Tim L. |

I didnt see this asked in the thread so if I missed it sorry.
After you freeze how long til they are smokable? I froze my collection almost three weeks ago after I saw some holes looking similar to the ones on here and some of them still feel wet or moist. Humidity is bordering around 68-70 |

As a test I actually smoked one directly from the the freezer and found no ill effects.
Typically I will let it come back to temp, then I they are full game. |

I don't think it would make much difference straight out of the freezer. I have gone for walks with a cigar in my pocket in -20C or so... then smoked it on the way home.

OK...after reading everything here I have a question about not freezing that I didn't see covered. If it was covered, sorry, here's the question anyway.
I have always been aware of the beetle thing but have never froze....yet. I do segregate all my new stuff for a period of time before I let them mingle with the crowd and allow them to get up close and personal and talk to other sticks. Maybe I've just been lucky so far......... What would one suggest the allotted time be to keep them segregated to see if there are going to any hatching? Thanks for the input........

As the eggs can lay dormant for some time until the conditions are right, I'm not sure any length of time segregated can insure non-infestation. Take out the insurance policy and freeze and have some peace of mind. ![]()

They can continue to flourish even below 70*, although at a slower rate. Two days in the freezer would seem to be a better option. ![]()

Thanks gentlemen I am glad you got some value out of it. That makes it worth writing up stuff like this if people get some value from it.

That's my problem. Two boxes of tubos way over humified. My humi is 68* and 62% but I want to kind of get these things dried up!

Well if the mold is off them just let them acclimate slowly, rushing the process can cause uneven humidification in the cigar causing burn issues etc.
Give em a month or two and they should be fine, assuming you took them out of the tubos. |

If there is cedar in your tubos, remove that for sure.
