That sucks man! Unfortunately, my brothers are right on this one... why take a chance?

Take every cigar in that humi, double ziploc bag em, suck out as much of the air as possible, then place them in your freezer for 10 days. Be sure to turn the freezer temperature down as low as it will go.

After 10 days put them in the fridge for 24 hours, then bring them to room temperature for 24 hours before you unbag them and return them to the humidor.

I know some here will challenge the 10 days rule... my personal experience some years ago before I got my wine cooler is that 3 and 5 days was not enough to kill the eggs, so I go 10 days at coldest setting. But thank goodness I haven't had a single outbreak since I got the wine cooler.
