Beetles? HELP!

[davewittwer]

What do you guys think? Bettles in the stick or wrapper issues?

Wrapper

 

[pbibby]

Beetle holes are typically perfect little round holes. Although these seem weird, I'm not sure they are beetles....

 

[GoingPostal]

looks like a wrapper issue, I've never had beetles but from the pictures i've seen the hole tends to be deeper and more circular

Looks like a wrapper issue but maybe isolate it for the time being. Better to be safe than sorry!

As others have said, beetle holes are circular, and go down into the cigar...I think you are okay :thumbsup:

visually, circular holes that go deeper than the binder into the filler. tap the cigar. if a bunch of dust comes out of the foot, like a bunch, might be beetles.

Haven't seen first hand beetle damage but I have seen this before, and it was simply wrapper damage, I wouldn't worry, but a quarantine wouldn't hurt and keep your eyes peeled for any other signs.

Yes, that's a beetle hole ^^
Happened to a brand new Tat I picked up at my B&M (didn't notice it at the store)

Dave,
I feel much better after seeing these pictures full size on the computer screen and more confident after the advice of the brothers here.
We can see binder/filler intact behind the tear and not a bored out hole, so I'm quite confident that it's just a damaged wrapper.
Good eye though!
Had me scared!!!

yup. lots of the 10th got little tears from the rough cedar sheets they used.
