Close call with Ringo Cigar Star
I recently did some trading with a distant BOTL. 5er for 5er. So the package comes and I put the sealed bag in my humi. I figured, due to the cold weather I would let them rest for a couple of days. I finally pulled one out to smoke. A Gurkha 12 year aged. I pulled off the cedar and immediately notice holes in the cigar. Went to a wooden table and in the light, this is what I saw.



The object in the hole. You guessed it. Ringo Star the cigar Beatle, I mean beetle.


Sorry about the quality of the shot, but it was a camera phone.
I guess I was lucky since he was dead. I imagine that, since it came from Belgium, the cold weather killed it. Close one. The other sticks were ok and I only hope that my friend doesn't have more of them...

How lucky am I! Anyway hope life brings you good trading and no musical bugs. LMAO.

Re: Close call with Ringo Cigar Star
glad you caught it before any real damage!

You know it... The box it was resting in was next to a box containing Padron 80ths, GOFs, PAM64s and 26s, BTLs, and a bunch of rare ISOMs. Well, you get the idea. Again. How lucky am I!

Re: Close call with Ringo Cigar Star
Wow. I hope this is an isolated incident.

If I had to guess I'd say it's actually been dead for several years. The beetles only live a few days after metamorphosis, during which time they attempt to mate, and then lay eggs before dying. Adult beetles do not eat.

Keep it alive and feed it a cigarette and watch it die from eating additive add tobacco.
