Built in carbs on cigars are not good. Hopefully only one to smoke early.

Glad you caught it, Vin--would have been terrible to just put those in your collection without noticing!

Sorry to see that. I too freeze everything that comes in. Before they enter my humi or cooler they spend 3-4 days in the freezer. My wife being as great as she is takes care of the freezing of sticks which are delivered while I am deployed.

Dude, that sucks...hope you got to it before the others are infested, and what Adam said I'd be contacting somebody.

Those are pretty rare cigars, and most likely from a private sale. Tough to contact a vendor in these cases, and is part of the risk associated with buying really rare cigars.
At any rate, sorry to see it, Vin!

What a bummer to see something like that. Freezing is good! Hope the rest remain ok for you.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining. A single beetle hole in a cigar will not render the stick unsmokeable.
But make no mistake about it, seeing that hole underscores my unwavering belief in the need for me to freeze my stock upon arrival. The beetle that burrowed through that Festie is likely long dead. Maybe the unhatched eggs are too. But I am not taking chances.
