Hi Erin,
Definitely not a cigarette beetle.

Probably more accurate information about the species from the entomologists

Hello Pestlist,

I have a few images attached of an unknown beetle, found on a specimen in our 
herbarium collection, that I'm hoping to have some help identifying.

It's somewhat similar in shape to a cigarette beetle, although it's darker in 
color and much smaller (about half the size). There are three large segments 
towards the end of the antennae. I know these aren't the best photos, I hope 
it's enough to work with!

The last photo was taken with the beetles inside a medium sized frag pack.

Is this something we should be concerned about?

Thanks for your help :)
Cheers,
Erin
