I had trouble with some bugs a while back, but never found the cigar evidence, just saw some creepy crawlies in my humi. Well, I went for a fonseca sungrown cedar tonight, and when I pulled it's pants down... (the cedar sleeve) lowman and behold! They've all been frozen so I'm not too concerned, however, with this, I'll be ripping everything out and inspecting it.

I know the feeling Robby. I've had a few that were better "flutes" than cigars. Nothing gets past the freezer these days.

Curious question then: What's the 1st signs to look for?

I saw bugs crawling inside the glass. I opened it up immediately and took everything out and bagged it and froze it. The best thing to do is maintain constant temp and humidity at the appropriate levels. But it's good to pulled them out and check all your gars occasionally.

I had the same thing happen with a tubo I got in Mexico. I bought a Flor de Cano Predelictos and it had a beetle hole in it that I didn't see until I was long gone. Clipped it and smoked it anyway and it was still good. Lucky for me the hole was about an inch away from the end, so I was able to clip it off there.
