Damage or Beetle?
Basically, I was staring at my smokes when I noticed a hole in one of them, it looks more like damage than anything but I figure I'd be safe and double bagged it and tossed it in the deep freeze. What do you guys think?

Re: Damage or Beetle?
From that picture really hard to tell. It looks to me like on the left side of the hole there is some torn leaf which would lead me to say damage. But without knowing for sure, you were wise to take it out the humi and freeze it (or go ahead and smoke it!).

Re: Damage or Beetle?
It appears to be damage if your talking about the mark at center (horizontal) center (vertical) of the cigar. Beetle holes are practically a perfectly round hole.

Re: Damage or Beetle?
Thanks guys, that's what I had originally thought but I wanted to be safe rather than sorry and since I can't smoke it right now I tossed it in the deep freeze just to be sure.

Re: Damage or Beetle?
Based on my experience I say no way is that a beetle hole. I think you are fine.

Neither here, nor there

Re: Damage or Beetle?
Looks like damage, but you can do the tap test to be sure. Hold the cigar over a white piece of paper with the hole side down and tap. If nothing falls out, then your good. If small dark pellets fall out then it's most likely beetle dung/residue.

Alex, smoke it, and when you smoke past the damage all will be "up in smoke" and if it is a beetle (which im sure its not) you'll kill it and its family!

Re: Damage or Beetle?
you know when you have a beetle hole! I thought I had beetle holes in the past, but just recently found a stick with them, its like clear as day. Also, if the cigars are in cello, you will find some "dust" inside the cello.
The edges of beetle holes look like they were drilled out by precision instruments, very clean and precise and also they have some depth to them, you can actually look down into one
