How to tobacco beetles get into a humidor?
Can you answer Boo-yuh's question about humidors?:
According to cigar experts, you don't want the temperature in your humidor to get too warm, because if it does, you'll get tobacco beetles. My question is how to the larvae get into the humidor? Do the beetle larvae just lie dormant in the cigar, until the right temperature (too warm) "wakes" them up?

Yes I think the beetle larvae just lie dormant and when the right environment is present, it wakes up… I was told that to get rid of them, put them in the freezer… and then back into the humidor again. I have not tried it though..
The eggs are already in the cigar.
They are in the cigars when you buy them.
EagleDotCom has got it right. I put mine in the freeze over night and then in to the lettuce box – because I don't have a humidor.
