stunod Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 For the first time, I found some bugs in 2 boxes of cigars. A box of Monte 4 and Ramon Alones Superiores. They aren't , or don't appear to be tobacco beetles. Their more like tiny gnats. There are no holes in the cigars. Any ideas on who these little buggers are . Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzz Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Probably a wood mite. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
earthson Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Wood mite. They show up every now and again when the local humidity spikes. I have not found any damage thus far. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
finecigar Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 definitely a wood mite... they are a nuisance but they are harmless. As of yet I've found no consistent way to avoid them, since I have all cabinet and desktop humidors. Link to post Share on other sites

maxcjs0101 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 How do you eat the above said spread / jam....? Spread them on crackers or bread if not mistaken. i used to be fed this stuff when i was a kid and my mom normally mix this in porridge. Back then it was Marmite. Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzz Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 How do you eat the above said spread / jam....? Mostly used as a spread, though, I have seen some people put it in a glass of hot water to drink. You don't slather it on like peanut butter or jam, but used sparingly. Can also be used as an ingredient in cooking. It is an acquired taste. Personally, I think it should be banned by the UN as a biological/chemical weapon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This answer just saved me from a heart attack. I found some of these guys in my desktop humidor the other day and my cigars are now sitting in the freezer. Link to post Share on other sites
