An unwanted hitch hiker

[Deano]

Last night I opened a monte petit edmundo and found an unwanted visitor on his back....a tobacco beetle on my cigar! Threw him off straight away but now have a cigar with a big hole!

Can't bring myself to smoke it! Into the bin!

OMFG - still probably a blessing it was in a tubo. Do you know were the stick came from.

[Deano]

Yeah I do, but I'm not going to name them publicly. I will send them a message, but I suspect it's all very normal.

Oh man what a bummer but like monkey says thank god it was a tubo, unless like me you leave it in the humi with the lid off.

I read somewhere that some people prize the smokes with the larvea in.

[joeray]

Do you think it hatched due to a humidity or temp. increase in your humidor?


Because I believe all cigars due have the capability of having one of these given the right temp. and humidity!!

[Deano]

Wasn't stored in the humi, just in it's packet. It may have been there since the purchase. Yuckkkk.

What year was the stick? I thought that the modern ones were all treated etc?

[Deano]

From a 3 pack, no age on it.
