So I get a great package of smokes from an awesome BOTL, like 50 total and all well aged. Thank you again brother!!

Anyway I open this box, a sampler of five cigars, four wrapped in yellow,crumbly cello, one in a nice tube. I open the tube and a bunch of tobacco falls out and thru my fingers. What the hell? Says I to meself. I pull out the cigar which looks and feels perfect. Cept for dem there holes and the two others you can't see. I immediatley repackage the whole thing and (sent it to pacman) put it in my freezer. Then I went and scrubbed my hands, legs, elbows, etc,etc as I dont want beetles mistaking my head for a tobacco farm. My head still itches.

This was my first "beetle" experience and hopefully last. I've only been smoking and aging cigars for about 3, maybe 4 years now. Long enough to know that I keep the stuff people give me segregated for a bit from my goody stash. The rest of the gift smokes (most of them in their original boxes,bundles,etc) look great, but i'm a bit leary of putting them in my humi's. That and I aint got no room. What's a brother gonna do now?

Guess i gotta smoke em!!!!!

PS Beetles, the idea of beetles dead or alive in my cigars creeps me the hell out, so please dont mention that or any other crazy **** i might be inhailing when I sit down to relax. Thats all I have tonight.

You ever think about sending a private email to the person instead of calling them out and posting a picture of the cigar for all to see?

Just my .02

2. I'm NOT calling anybody out. This is NOT the senders fault at all and is really no big deal. It's a nice shot of Beetle holes, that's all.

Read the post before giving you .02 please.

Read the first sentence.

And this was a SEALED box. Totally not the senders fault. This stuff happens. This thread is about the beetles not the people.

Just smoke it with your fingers covering the holes, like a flute.

As the naked cigars next to this one in the box were ok, I think the blame lays in the TUBO somehow.

I walked into a shpo in Miami Beach a couple of weeks ago and my buddy (who knows the clerk) asked to see the good cigars ... she pulls out 3 boxes of ISOMs ... In one box of Cohibas, every single cigar had beetle holes in them . . .

We bought the Monte # 2's, instead . . .
