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?

How do you set up a humidor for the first time?

Can you answer jake122683's question about humidors?:

I recently quit drinking caffeine and eating meat and, as a result, enjoy smoking a cigar once every few days to mellow out. I was thinking about buying a humidor, something small like 25-50 ct. How do you set up a humidor once you get it? I have heard like 100 different things and just want a simple humidor. How do I get it working once I get it?

Cigars in desktop humidor – leave in celophane, or take them out?

Can you answer MissDeviance's question about humidors?:

I just got hubby some cigars for Fathers Day (even though he's not a dad, but who cares).

When he puts them in his desk top humidor, is it better to keep them in the celophane wrappers or take them out?

(Some come with, some come without. Generally most of the cigars he likes are similar types, so there shouldn't be an issue with different cigar types taking on flavors of neighboring cigars.)

I'm more concerned with how the 70% humidity hits the cigars. Does it get through the loose celophane anyway, or is it better to remove the celophane and let the humidity hit the cigars directly? Or does the celophane actually keep the cigars fresher?
