A first for me - a poorly rolled DPG

Not necessarily a poor roll, but:

The other day I grabbed a Blue Label Generoso, cut it and fired it up. When I started puffing, nothing but air. ???

Closer examination revealed three beetle holes just below the label toward the foot.

Now there was nothing in the way of beetle dung or tobacco remnants in the cellophane, the cellophane itself was intact, and an autopsy revealed nothing in the cigar itself. My conclusion is it happened at the factory after rolling but prior to final packaging. The little buggers hatched, ate their way out, and moved on.

Looks like it slipped by QC.
