    If you other cigars where that was stored then they are at risk of beetles also. That thing tunneled out.

    Whatever was in the bag is more than likely infected. They’re probably still eggs in the other cigar. They don’t crawl out until they hatch.
    What’s the other side look like?

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Eh. I've seen rounder holes.

    I mean, it could be just puncturing damage. I see other damage higher up on the stick so I assume it's been knocked around a little. Did you try to shake any dark rusty red beetle dust out of that hole or out of the foot? To me, that would be more conclusive evidence, and it would definitely be present if it were actually beetles. Also, if these two cigars you described as cohabitating, had been unattended for long in the same ziplock and warm enough, I would not be surprised if there were more beetle damage than just one hole.

    I actually did try for dust and nothing came out. Ran across that on google so thought waa worth a shot. So you could be right

    I put the other in the freezer. Smoked the cohiba and it smoked great.

    Some steps I read online: The following steps can be taken as a precautionary process upon receiving cigars, or immediately after an "outbreak" is noticed:

    Empty the entire contents of your humidor and place each cigar in zipped plastic bags.
    Seal each bag tightly and place them in your freezer.
    After three days, move the bags filled with your cigars into the fridge.
    After 24 hours of fridge time, move the cigars back to your humidor.

    I don't have problems, just more work to do.

    Never had a problem but this is why I use many mid-size tuperdors vs one giant coolerdor. Infestation or loss of one container is more managable.

    Thankfully I think all is well. I froze the companion cigar as mentioned above so not worried. And if it went south the supply is limited to little damage to be done. But I do like the logic of the stash broken up

    Looks like a fauxhike so I’d just toss it.
