Got these off a friend who has recently been to the Dominican he got them on a factory tour.
Anyhow as he handed them to me i noticed one of them had a hole in, obviously the dreaded beatle!!!😠😢😢



Currently these are in a zip lock in the fridge and then they are onto the freezer.

How long would you suggest leaving them in the freezer for?
And would you smoke the one with the hole.....is it even smokeable?

Thanks

48 hours is fine, then back into the fridge. Yes it is smokeable and it isn't necessarily a beetle hole, it could be damage. Its always a good idea to give cigars for local consumption the freezer treatment. Thos intended for export should get it at source.

Thanks [MENTION=13402615]PeeJay[/MENTION] it certainly looks like a beatle hole....not that i've seen one first hand. It's either that or it's been stabbed with a braddle lol.
Wasnt sure if it was 24 or 48hrs in the freezer, cheers

And it'll be fine to smoke after the cool treatment.

Does the thawed beetle add to the flavour profile?

Don't forget to either wrap them up in a good amount of cling film or even a small box to protect again freeze/frost damage. Sorry if you knew that already.

Thanks cj. Wrap them individually Or will all together be ok? Going to put them in a tupperware box

All together and being in the box will protect them too
