**Updated**Important!! The "Burning Leaf" Tat Event

[ciggy]

And here he is!!!




Ok it's been a almost a couple weeks and I thought it was time to ajust the handouts givin by brothers at this event. Normally I can remember who gave me what but for some reason I can't on this one. After inspecting the cigars when I got home I noticed this had two small holes in it. Usually I will see this in a box or two at the BM and don't worrie to much about it if it's the last one and I'm smoking it right away. However I thought maybe I'll see what happens with this over a short period just as an experiment.
Well sure enough, two more holes appeared and tobacco dust so I decided I needed to post this so whoever gave it to me can save there stash before it's to late. Check out the pics.

Yep. Cruzado Churchill. I have a resting humi I let cigars rest before they go into my good humi, this one I left in the bag.

Thanks for the warning Tom! I made sure to check the box at the Leaf and it is clean as far as I can tell.

Wow, glad you caught that. No Cruzado's from me.

I've had a nightmare where beetles ravaged my stash. I would be devastated.

 

[Kurtdesign1]

I recently received a cigar order and one of the sticks had two holes just like this! It's my very first incidence of beetles. There was only one other cigar in that bag, but I still froze everything from that order. They should be fine now, based on what I've read here about taking care of that.

One difference with my situation was that there was no beetle crap (or bugs) in the bag (what you called "tobacco dust" is, others have told me, beetle crap). And nothing came out of the cigar when I banged on it and what not. That leads me to wonder if the "chewing" actually happened before it was shipped to me and they just didn't notice.

You want to hear something else ... I smoked that stick today! Yeppers. It was a long cigar, and I smoked it until about 3/4 an inch from the first hole, then cut it down to 3/4 inch past the 2nd hole. That "nub" at the end was only okay, but the rest of the cigar before the cut was really awesome.

I'm not a big fan of the cruz so I know it ain't me, but thankfully you caught it and good gesture!
