At least for now, since the eggs are already inside the cigar....you prolly won't know if there's others till they show damage like this one. ( but I hope I'm wrong )

Yes, others that were near it are getting the 'cold treatment'.

Well, the upside to this is that I now know what those darn beetles look like up close. Larva and all.😕

Had a scare a while back, was diligent for a while, but have since become complacent again.

Love the taste of beetles in the morning =p~

This

I'm sorry to see that. Had a case of the beetles once, but thankfully not on something as nice as the Calaveras. I hope the cold treatment works out

So how long do the eggs survive for. If I have cigars that are x months old that are safe. What is X

U arent safe until the pope leaves;)

X only marks the spot.

Cant find a clear answer but it seems most species is 2-4 years for dormant eggs
wiki - adults die within 6 days at 4 °C, and eggs survive 5 days at 0–5 °C.

Somebody shared a scientific research journal studying tobacco beetles on another forum, wish I'd saved it.

But iirc that's about right, eggs and live beetles can last a few days at warmer temps (above freezing, 40F) but as the temps go below freezing, 0F to -20F their viability is zero at 24hrs or less.

That's the ticket!!! I'm taking my cigars down to JFK Parkway and have the Pope bless my cigars protecting them from beetles.
