More Beetles!

So, I have been in the non-freeze everything camp for awhile, but I think I need to change my position. I have 2 Vinos and 2 desktops (1 for junk and 1 for good singles). Well, my desktop used to store singles is now infected.

I found several cigars with beetle holes (all form the same shipment of NCs). One in particular had TONS of beetle poop in the celophane and another had a clear hole through the cigar AND through the celphane (I need to look around for the loose demon). My big issue is that humi stores some really nice singles (Esplendidos, Monte A, Sig VIs, other CC and several Opus and nice NCs. TIme to bag and freeze the contents of this whole humi.

I will really need to think about taking all my boxes out of my Vinos and doing the freezing to be on the safe side, but its a lot of work...bummer.

Here's a couple photos. sorry for the large size.

Hole with TONS of beetle droppings

Hole with corresponding hole in plastic.

Please check your stash and be proactive....

Also, I thought hard about not showing the band, as Rob is A+ and the best vendor I have ever dealt with, but wanted everyone to be aware- this is in NO WAY a negative on Rob or his cigars, it can happen to any brand.
