Define problem. I have had a few sticks,, usually trades, but quarantine procedures made them a non issue
Same here. I got a box in the mail, put the sticks in the humi, and never thought about it. For some reason I reached in the next day to grab one of the sticks I was bombed, an Oliva MB2. I feel like the Cigar Gods handed me that cigar, because it was out of me routine to grab a stick before it had acclimated to my humi. Normally would have been at least 30 days before that cigar woudld have been in my hand. Anyway, i noticed a small amount of "dust in the bottom of the cello once I had taken the cigar out, and figured it was from a bettle, the sure enough, ther it was, a hole right in the side of my smoke. There was not a hole in the cello, so i assume it was in that cigar from the factory. Either way, i was scared and promptly went through the task of freezing my stash, and like abopve probably not needed, bu t I did it. Never seen on since. I di just switch from a Wine cooler to a cabinete, and moved to a house with no AC, so we'll see what happens.
