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?

I've never had beetles (knocking on wood as I type), I'm interested to find out as well busdaddy....

Toss em , quarentine the rest, DDT , freeze, whatever it takes to Kill KILL KILL!!!!!

Do what Mr.mean says,but U can still smoke the infected gars,after U freeze them. I have and never had a problem. Be sure 2 plug holes though so U get any even draw. X

Would the "Cigar Doctor" you guys spoke of work to plug the holes?

Cwil,Only if U have a piece of tobacco to cover the hole. Preferably a piece of a wrapper. X

X - Good to know, Thanks. Chris

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!
