Default Re: ever had a beetle infestation ???

About a decade ago I was smoking a Partagas Lusi on a warm summer day with a loose draw. As time went by, the draw got easier. After about a third way through I took the band off to find a larva squirming around under the band had make a gash in the cigar slightly larger than itself, maybe 0.5 x 1.25 cm. Got rid of his ass and if I covered up the hole, the cigar smoked fine and so I did. Looking in the bottom of the cooler I found evidence of an infestation so I put a towel over the top of the cigars for insulation and then covered the towels with dry ice and shut the cooler up for 24 hours. Don't remember what the temperature got down to, but those cigars were fine afterwards. I have never frozen cigars since.
