Just the one.

These came in today.

They go in the freezer tonight.

That's a dam shame!

DBall · 09-26-2011, 06:19 PM

Oh damn, Vinny... ouch!

jjirons69 · 09-26-2011, 06:23 PM

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

Ogre · 09-26-2011, 06:43 PM

That sucks, hope the rest are ok!!!

NCRadioMan · 09-26-2011, 06:54 PM

NOOOOOOOOO!!! Not the Festies!!!!!

bobarian · 09-26-2011, 07:00 PM

Save The Festies!

jesseboston81 · 09-26-2011, 07:00 PM

Glad you caught it, Vin--would have been terrible to just put those in your collection without noticing!

MurphysLaw · 09-26-2011, 07:01 PM

yikes, good thing you inspected and they're going in the freezer, i've adopted a 100% freeze policy as well

maverickdrinker · 09-26-2011, 07:03 PM

WOW!!! Sorry to see that Vin. Glad that the rest of them are ok.

gator_79 · 09-26-2011, 07:42 PM

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.

CigarNut · 09-26-2011, 08:07 PM

I'm glad it was only one!

Aporschaguy · 09-26-2011, 08:22 PM

Did you buy from and online retailer? Some will offer compensation or a refunds.

Bad luck...

irratebass · 09-26-2011, 08:27 PM

Dude, that sucks...hope you got to it before the others are infested, and what Adam said I'd be contacting somebody.

tedrodgerscpa · 09-26-2011, 08:37 PM

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!

jsnake · 09-26-2011, 09:25 PM

What a bummer to see something like that. Freezing is good! Hope the rest remain ok for you.

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.
