If not here's something new to look for.

Hmmm.  I've never seen them in my humidor, or any humidor for that matter. :confused:

Haven't heard of them, either
You learn more by listening then you do from talking.

That's a new one for me.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.

New one for me as well. Thanks for sharing, although I might have preferred not knowing :biggrin:

Never heard of the mites. For a second I thought he was referring to the beetle larva since they are milky white, but they definitely don't scurry and love the cigars. Would have been nice if the article included some pics of the mites.

Since the mites are supposedly harmless and only go after mould, I wouldn't be concerned about their existence or lack thereof.

I'll drink and I'll whore and every pleasure realize

I've seen wood mites and think that is what they are talking about in the article. They usually go after the glue on the bands. Really won't harm your cigars and if you don't mind a little protein while lighting up nothing to worry about.
If they do bother you you can freeze the same as you would for beatles or wipe them off and clean the box out iffin you get the hebejeebeis from them.

Saw some mites for the first time and figured most guys never heard of them.

Very tiny white insect. As Bill stated they are known as wood mites.

Yes, it's a pineapple hat.  No, you can't put your cigar out in it.

I hear they start off with a blast of pepper, then mellow out to pleasant tones of wood, coffee, nuts and cocoa, with a slight undertone of citrus.
