I doubt it was packaged that way. I would be more inclined to assume the eggs hatched after they were boxed or during transit.
beetles?!?!
hey all-
comment and a question i guess.
i went golfing this morning and took one from my cohiba selecion reserva box, one of the smaller ones, don't know the exact size name.
anyway i noticed it wasnt smoking well, weak draw not a lot of smoke went out quickly twice. after about half i took of the bands and there was 2 tiny holes under them that looked like the holes i have seen in pictures of beetle infestations. that explained my problems. i smoked the rest of it like a flute and it was perfect from there. i ckecked the rest of the box and there was 1 of the torpedos that had 1 small hole in it. i checked some other boxes and no problems in them.
i guess my question is, is it possible for them to have been packaged that way? should i panic? is this common, anyone ever had something like this? it is definitely my first experience with this.
anyway help, suggestions, or comments would be greatly appreciated.
thanx in advance,
jimmy

wouldnt hurt. Inspect all the cigars close & seperate ones that are high suspect. Tapping the foot on a white piece of paper if infested would spill out bug poop dust
bug poop dust? wow, i don't suppose there is any pictures of that floating around? 
just looks like dust i assume?
thanx

I have been blessed or cursed with a palate that can't tell the difference between cigars that have been frozen and those that haven't. That being the case, I have a discipline that when I follow it I stay bug free.
I try to always buy cigars that are at least a year old and when they arrive I freeze them for two days in our deep freeze and then give them two days in the fridge and about a half a day at room temp.
Works for me. . . Just my two cents.
