CUBANO Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 the Beetle jackpot. Got this cigar in Cabo Sept.2013 and froze it for 3 days put it inside a plastic bag and a few days ago had a total of 35 beetles crawling inside the bag. That is why is so important to make sure you freeze for longer periods. There is a chart somewhere that tells you how long to freeze at a certain temp to kill the little pests.

imangelo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Holy crap! What kind of cigar is it? I thought HSA froze all cigars prior to shipping to distributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUBANO Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Holy crap! What kind of cigar is it? I thought HSA froze all cigars prior to shipping to distributors. Its not a CC, but I had beetles on a RA Superiores that i bought at the LCDH in Cozumel on Dec. 2012. IMO freeze everything and for at least a week.

earthson Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That's about the worst beetle infection I've ever seen! I've always frozen customs when I receive them, but never regular production smokes. Care to share what the cigar was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUBANO Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 That is terrible! Was that the only one affected? Yeah, and it was inside a plastic bag. No harm done. I have had beetles before, but only a couple never this many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigcars Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I wish there was a fainting emoticon here... I don't think I'd chance smoking that one, partner. You're gonna be risking getting Lasioderma Serricorne in your mouth & system; you're likely to have whatever smoking experience disrupted by sh#t tasting stuff; your enjoyment of a wonderful habana smoke will be I wouldn't do it.

CUBANO Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 This cigar is beyond smokable. The only thing I want to reiterate is freeze for more than 3 days, I would say 7 days just to be safe. Lots of protein in that cigar.(LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puromaniac Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Beetle jackpot is right. Reminds me of a statement I once heard from a British evolutionary biologist about "God's inordinate fondness for beetles," referring to the fact that there are more beetles than any other form of insects. At the time though I hadn't discovered CCs, and what this might mean to our smoking pleasures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
