Saw this today no holes in the cello but it was full of the little critters poo. Hopefully this is the only one. Can't check the others because I'm on the boat. But it's smoking fine and none have come crawling out yet. imageimage

    Did you have to cut it above the hole to smoke it? (newbie question)

    I didn't but it had a big leak in the hole. I just kept my finger on it and it burned fine. For a Prensado that is.

    If they crawl out the head end of the stick just pick them off with the tip of your pocketknife and keep smoking. It's all good..... Lol. ??

    Damn! I was actually thinking about you recently and how you can't keep a close eye on your stash at home while you are on the boat. So sorry to hear about your situation. How long before you get home?

    I've been collecting cigars for about three years now and had three cases of beetles myself. I freeze most of my cigars. Right now about 3/4ths of mine I have frozen. So, I don't worry too much but I do keep a closer eye on my "non-treated" stock and I don't mix treated and non-treated cigars in my collection. If there's anything I can offer in the way of advice on killing them, let me know.

    That sucks, how long does it take for beetles to thrive like that? I mean did this happen on the boat or it started at home? Every time a post is made about this I have to go check my cigars.
