Hello friend! When i was a lad i had an ant farm... seems similar to your little humidor insect project so I'll offer the best advice i can based on my experiences...

as cigars are an important part of a cigar beetles natural habitat, it's vital you not remove any from the insect humidor... also, don't mix the red ones with the black ones or you'll start a war... and reward good behavior with an eye dropper of kool-aid...

Lastly, letters and numbers are a terrible combination for a forum handle and the guys around here are gonna hate it... take my advice, introduce yourself as insect boy...

I've dealt with this a few times.....

Shave the effected area, and wash with tea tree oil shampoo, or add a few drop of tea tree oil to some shampoo.

Should clear up in a few days.

So that in 3000 years, when technology has caught up to the dreams of the present, they can unthaw it and rebuild him - d*ck first...

In a world of snowflakes, progressives, and hipsters, humanity has become a cesspool of pussification... mankind has only one hope... he is:

A F*CKING D*CK

Yes, definitely freeze the humidor for at least 3 days and then it goes in the fridge for a couple of days to start the thawing process. Send the bugs to Drafter- he eats anything.

That's counter intuitive. Most peoples shrivel up when you freeze them and get harder the more you warm them up...

Weird world we live in.

And just to be perfectly clear, leave the cigars in the humidor. You might wanna leave it in the freezer for 4 days to account for the thickness of the box. Additionally, if your humidor is small enough, put it in a plastic bag.

Good luck!
