So what I thought was going to be a stress less Thanksgiving has gotten kind of stressful. The fiance and I had turkey lunch with only us. Then our friends and family are coming over for dessert. I figured before they get here would be a great time to get a smoke in.
I went to the coolidor and grabbed a Rocky Patel, Vintage 1990. Light it up and began to smoke. I'm not a fan of keeping my cigars bands on my cigars while I smoke. So I took it the first one off as soon as I could. As I turned the cigar over I could see where some beetle had its Thanksgiving meal. At least I think it was a beetle. There were two "insects" that were white with what looked like fuzz on them eating my cigar. Reminded me of an inchworm. I'm assuming they are larve. So I smoked it a little further down till the heat seemed to force them out. Then I killed them and my cigar. Couldn't finish it knowing they were in it.
This RP I just bought two weeks ago with 2 others. So I debanned the rest of my cigars that were in the same container as the other one. Found nothing. Now I'm nervous I'm going to have a beetle out break. Being winter the temp in my humidor will stay around 60 with a humidity of 65%. I guess we will see what happens.
