Is this a beetle?

Dan · 02-24-2009, 07:45 PM

I just took the cigar out of the cello for storage/aging, and upon inspection noticed this:

that shadow is a big round hole. Looks like beetles to me. What do you guys say? Checking the rest of the shipment I just opened for more.

i hate to tell you I agree, but I would be freezing all sticks that came in contact with that one right now

I vote yes.

It looks like a hole in the wrapper. When I've seen beetles eat through a stick they eat through the wrapper, binder, filler, etc.

It could be a beetle hole... but I have never seen one so chewed up before. All of the beetle holes I have seen have been very clean, round holes.

Further down, where the shadow is, there are actually two clean round holes that go in further.

I agree with Joe on this one,,,could be that your Beetles are a bit messy or are in bad need of some dental work.

Make that SOP on all before they hit the humis and the problem should be greatly diminished.

LOL, man I love the sound of a beetle getting fried, that snap you get is just music to my ears knowing one of those little bastages will no longer do any damage.

If you just got them, send them back.
