Built in carbs on cigars are not good. Hopefully only one to smoke early.

Sorry to see that. I too freeze everything that comes in. Before they enter my humi or cooler they spend 3-4 days in the freezer. My wife being as great as she is takes care of the freezing of sticks which are delivered while I am deployed.

Those are pretty rare cigars, and most likely from a private sale. Tough to contact a vendor in these cases, and is part of the risk associated with buying really rare cigars.

At any rate, sorry to see it, Vin!

Good wife




The same thing happened to me with some cheap sticks from CI, I froze them for a few days and then opened up the one with a whole and found that little devil and made sure he was dead. It was a scary event however, I doubt the OP will want to waste one of those cigars to hunt down the beetle. good luck brother, glad you cought it early.
