You can also heat the cigars as I said. Think bed bugs and how to kill them which is wrap in plastic, heat up to about 120 degrees F, sit for an hour and they are all dead. A lot of people resist heating cigars since they can burst and crack the wrappers from swelling but I think you can try that as well. Not much forum approaches discuss heating cigars so you'll be on a fringe but then again, 8 years ago freezing cigars was quite a controversy and I would submit many even on this forum are opposed to freezing cigars.

For the most part manufactures have gotten much better and when my Graycliff hatched it was a fairly common problem for Graycliff at the time. I've seen Cohiba's have beetle holes in them as well, the Dominican Cohiba's that is and it was a few years before my Graycliff.
