Has anyone received cigars from Cbid and they have the holes in the wrapper from beetles ? I’m a noob but I got one with couple holes in it

Yep. Probably McCartney. A couple days in the freeze and you should be good to go...

I usually do two days in the refridge, 3 days in the freezer then 2 days in the fridge again.

Exactly my suggestion.I had a beetle outbreak a few years ago.Froze everything 3-4 days and now nothing goes in the humidor til it's been properly frozen.....NOTHING.

I watched a YouTube of Nick Perdomo talking freeze all their cigars but the trick is bring them back up to temp.

I've heard lots of stuff,fridge to freezer to fridge,freezer to fridge......I place mine directly in the freezer,72-80 hours later they come out and go straight in my humidor.Never been a problem

I do allow them a few weeks recovery time before smoking them.

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in

And stops my mind from wandering

Where it will go

Never from Cbid or for that matter any online supplier. I have had beetles once and that when I brought back a handful of Cuban cigars from Mexico. I had to gut the humidor and freeze the remaining unaffected cigars... night mare that was.
