Took this rather fetching looking number out to smoke today.


Only once lit did I notice this.


Whats the verdict guys?

[ValeTudoGuy]

Beetles! Most on here will tell you to seal your sticks in sandwich bags/clingfilm and freeze them. It seems to work for them.

A great big bloody hole

From the picture, it looks beetle-esque. Smoke away, as they're usually exit points. Might get a bit airy though

[cj121]

Mind you, with the cedar wrap, maybe it's still in there

[Wigan]

Just the one hole and I have smoked past it no problems. Checked it against edamski photos and reckon I am safe. Been sitting in my desktop humi for a month or so and the rest of the sticks in there look ok

[ValeTudoGuy]

Did the cedar give any resistance when it came Off? it's a long shot but could it just be a conveniently beetle looking rip?

[Wigan]

On closer inspection after posting and before smoking the edges looked in wards rather than out. Dented with something with a sharp edge. 99.99% sure it was physical damage hidden by cedar wrap. Still scared the bee jeezuz out of me though I can tell you that!

I have a chest infection so no cigars all weekend. Absolutely rubbish. Sitting here in bed feeling jealous

[cj121]

Pop yourself in cling film and freeze yourself for twenty four hours, that'll stop any risks spreading. Ah, no, that's for beetles, not chests

But seriously, that's crap. I had one for almost three weeks, yak So I empathise totally. Look after y'self.

Check all your other cigars for similar holes. Then take action if need be. If there aren't holes on the other residing sticks, keep a eye on all of them as often as poss for up to a week is say... Not a pro, but that's what is do.

[Edamski]

All joking aside seriously take a look at your humidor Wigan and even empty it and look for evidence. Worth it now instead of finding your stock munched on [emoji4]

Only keep a handful of sticks in the desktop humi and they all look fine but will be keeping a close eye one them.

I really think it was just physical damage and not infestation in this case

That is good to hear Wigan as I was scared for you mate.

Not smoked in a while as the Mrs is trying to give up cigarettes, and me smelling of cigars isn't 'helpful' apparently!
A CAO Lx2 today, and a pint of piledriver! Lovely burn on the stick for being outside with a bit of wind.

Edit: the weather condition, not from me!

Lovely old Monte2. Took the old car for a spin
