This isn't a beelte, right? Right?

First, the hole seems too big, and second, there is no way my humi has been over 72 degrees for any length of time, if ever.

No others with holes in the humi. Should I freeze em' all to be safe?

Also, I don't know if this is a clue to anything, but ....

There's a void of tobacco under the hole. If I push down on it the wrapper where the hole is, I can see a 1/8" diameter void, shallow but clearly lacking tobacco.

I suspect it may be highly possible.

Re: This isn't a beelte, right? Right?

Typically, beetle holes are nearly perfect round, however that looks like holes near and meeting together even........ So my answer is yes, it is a beetle hole and yes, freeze now.

If me, I'd freeze (the colder the better) every cigar they have been in direct contact with and even empty/clean the humidor they were in.

Yea, better safe than sorry.

I thought one of the advantages of living up here was no beetles

My dog Skye, beetle free!

Yikes, scary times when you see a hole like that. Freeze for some peace of mind.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't take the chance that it isn't. Freezing is cheap insurance.

Re: This isn't a beelte, right? Right?

Yep , that cigar is toast so smoke it as far as you can , if you hear a pop that's the beetle(s) exploding inside it

Any others showing signs or was it in the humi with others if so in the fridge for two days then the freezer for two days then back in the fridge for two days and then back in the humi , make sure to clean it out real good !
