in Cigar 101
During these hot summer months I segregate my new purchases in a 20ct humidor for a few days before inspecting them and putting them in the big (for me) 100ct humidor. What I'm wondering is; How long does it take the little monsters to hatch out after reaching the appropriate temperature? If I'm moving cigars to the larger humidor in 5 days or so, am I giving enough time? Thanks to those who respond.

approximately six to ten days after the temperature (73-75) triggers their birth.
for the next 5-10 weeks they live off of your cigars.
entire life cycle 10-14 weeks with the adult stage lasting only a month or so.0 -
Thanks, looks like they'll be spending a little extra time in quarantine."If you do not read the newspapers you're uninformed. If you do read the newspapers, you're misinformed." -- Mark Twain0

U could also put them in a vacume, this will also destroy the eggs.

Does freezing the cigars after you receive them permanently destroy the eggs?0

Freezing does work just dont over-do it. It would damage the cigar and the oils."Beauty is in the eye when you hold her." -Ricky0
