Intro and question:

[flayco]

Hey, what's up. I'm from CT and new to this site. Does anyone know what little white bugs may be on my cigars? I just started seeing them. They seem to avoid light and are very small.

 

[RonC]

i think those are some type of mite. not in the cigar, but just eat the paper label

 

[Patrick B]

CRABS!

Welcome aboard.

 

[unfairtoast]

Crab people! Crab people! Look like crabs, talk like people! Crab People!


:welcome:

 

[flayco]

Are you serious? Like lice, crabs? What kind of crabs? And, what will they do?

 

[unfairtoast]

Go with what ron said.

 

[flayco]

I think your right. They really don't seem to disturb the cigars. Know how I can get rid of them. Should I?

 

[Crypto Sailor]

:welcome:

 

[blooz4u]

Welcome to BOTL! Not sure what sort of bugs you have, but I'd go with Ron's answer!

 

[RobustoMoe]

Jeeez, I'd go with RonC's answer !! Welcome on board bro !

 

[mcroom]

flayco, welcome to BOTL.

 

[Bowhnter]

Welcome!

 

[VirginIslander]

I'd rub em down with some head and shoulders. That should take care of it.

 

[stroke]

try spraying OFF or lysol on your cigars, it should kill em. Just kidding, I got nothin, but :welcome:

 

[Soundwave13]

I'd freak. Sorry to hear that & welcome to BOTL!

Seriously though - I'd systematically rub off & inspect each & every stick, seal them in freezer bags, put them in the fridge for a day, inspect, freeze for a day, inspect, back in fridge for a day, inspect isolate in cooler for a day, inspect.... then if everything looks good put them back into humidor/coolidor that has been thoroughly cleaned in the meantime...

 

[twenty5]

I would freak out too, if they were just cheap smokes and I didn't have many I would chuck them and start over! :bigeyes:

 

[flayco]

Thanks for the warm welcome. And tips. You ever get times during the day when your in a meaningless, or meaningful or whatever, where you think man, I could be smoking a cigar right now, but instead I'm here stuck in this conversation.

 

[Moro]

Well, if ye don't like to talk to us...

Welcome to the Brotherhood, mate! :smokingbo

 

[Kurtdesign1]

They are wood mites, harmless and easily killed by a day or two in the freezer. Or, you could just segregate the cigars in individual baggies for a bit & they'll just die out. Nothing to worry about. I've had them once years ago. I froze the cigars & slowly brought them back & all was well after a few weeks of TLC.

Seriously though - I'd systematically rub off & inspect each & every stick,
