Only a damage or from fermentation? Or beetle?


Recommended Posts

Today I inspected my humidors and I found only a few cigars with some little holes. Only one in each cigar. One of my Cohiba Siglo VI is at one point at the wrapper green and also at the end. Is this normal? Thanks for help.

I can only see holes in a couple of pictures, but to me, it looks like the holes created by humidifier beads puncturing the wrapper.

Should be fine. When I had a beetle scare in the summer I thought every little blemish that resembled a hole was a beetle hole lol. To ease my paranoia (through research) I concluded that the holes that were closer to a perfect circle and let a lot of dust fall out when tapping the foot were the ones to be afraid of, and the ones that look like simple cuts and small tiny gashes were false alarms and mere blemishes.

From what I've garnered reading around the web and forums, the green is similar to water spots and likely happened during fermentation process.
