Beetle holes? Toss the stick or smoke it?

As long as we're talking 1 or two holes, I'll smoke the flute. I read once (cannot remember where) that damaged smokes should be tossed. Probably some propaganda from a consortium of growers -- Got Cigars?

If you see a hole ... that means the beetle has already left.

Hopefully before you got it ... and not into your humi to lay eggs!
