This more than likely happened well after it was rolled.

it could have happened in the aging room, in transport, at the retailer, or even ones own house.

all that said....that is awesome!

You think a spider could have crawled all the way up to the cap in a rolled cigar?

You think a roller could have rolled up a nest of eggs without noticing it?

Just seems like it would have to be a pretty darn small spider. Even then it seeme like a tight crawl.

Its possible. If the roller was not the one who destemmed the leaf, they could have easily just picked it up from a pile and bunched it with other leaves without noticing. If they were responsible for destemming that particular leaf as well as rolling its less likely for it to have gone unnoticed, but still possible. Easiest way to destem is to fold in half and pull the stem out, if the web was on the inside of the folded leaf it could go unnoticed fairly easily. These are handmade products made by people on somewhat of a schedule. Hence why we end up with a plugged cigar every so often.
