Good video, I freeze everything now regardless for 3 days...it's a pain, but I consider it "insurance." When you have so much money invested it would really suck to have an infestation...already had one small incident and don't plan on having another (at least I hope lol).
Isn't 7-10 days excessive? I'd always heard 24 hrs was enough to kill them
I thought the same thing, but then I figure these CA guys have some pretty rare and aged sticks...so if they put their own sticks in the freezer for that long, it must be ok.
Very interesting video, I have been lucky so far and have not had this problem yet. Still though it got me to researching and I found a trap called Safestore Bug Traps from a site in TX where I buy some of my sticks from.
I know it isn't proper to post links to competitor sites or I would of posted the link. Do you think Ccom would mind me posting the link since these bettles are a serious problem? or if anyone is interested just check my BIO to see the link.
i wonder what precautions some manufacturers go through to prevent beetle outbreaks. Also I wonder why the eggs dont hatch during the fermentation process where temps are supposed to be higher??

a lot of manufactures will put there cigars in a vacuum. This will crush the eggs.
