Possible Beetle?

[BenSV650]

I stopped in at Robert Grahams in Edinburgh on Tuesday and picked up a couple of cigars. However I was just looking over a Montecristo No. 4 (which I forgot to do in the shop as I was in a but of a rush) and noticed a little hole in the side of it.

Im not sure whether it's just a little damage from being in the box or if it is a beetle attack? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. sorry for photo quality, was taken on my phone.

It's difficult to tell from those pictures, but to me it looks more like physical damage than beetle damage. I reserve the right to be completely wrong though.

It doesn't look like a beetle hole. :nono:

:nerd: As me pappy, Pappy :849:Coro used to say, "If you got 'em, smoke 'em!" But I don't think he was talking about beetle infested puros. http://www.smilys.net/kotzende_smilies/smiley1872.gif

Doesn't matter what it is. You're within you're rights to take or send that back.
For you're peace of mind if nothing else.

If thats the bettle hole ? Id just smoke it cause it doesn't look like any I've ever seen. If you plan on smoking it just do it .

Looks like a puncture wound from the outside pushed inwards from the pic. Wouldnt a beetle bury it's way outwards first and leave a clean hole.

There is a small yellow thing you can get that to put in your humi which attracts and feeds on beetles. You would have to speak to yoko ono's manager first to see if she's free.

Thanks guys! From other pictures on the net, it doesn't realy look clean enough or the right shape.

I think I'll just forget about it and smoke the cigar anyway! :smoke:

All the beetle damage I've encountered (excluding Heather Mills), has presented (I sound like 'House') like a perfectly drilled hole.

As if someone had punctured your puro with a needle (ouch), pretty unmistakable.

As the man said, just smoke it and enjoy it.

Yep, that's what I'm talkin' about.
A sad sight senor, very sad indeed. http://smilys.net/traurige_smilies/smiley1506.gif

Ouch Smallclub. I can imagine the email already as I think mine would be worded rather harshly as well. Thats not a nice picture.

[davidruddell]

Turned my stomach that, I hope (being a single humi owner) that NEVER happens to me.
Will inspect newly bought sticks more carefully now!!
