Beetles, B&Ms, and my stash, oh my!

JimmyPeaches · 04-27-2009, 02:38 PM

So I just got back from a local B&M, the guy working and myself were in the humidor chatting about what was good and new. I asked about Tatauje and he replied that the brown labels were one of his daily smokes. So I picked up a Nobles, which is a red label, to inspect it and behold! A virtual beetle subway! I throw that stick down like it had the plague... should I spray some Raid on myself just for good measure?

Anyways... should I be concerned about the sticks that I just purchased at the same time?

Seriously unnerving to find tunnels in that large of a humidor.

Freeze them to be safe.

I second the freeze, can never be too careful

When in doubt...freeze those sticks!

Freeze them ALL! Nothing makes it into my storage humi unless it gets frozen first...

At least, a few of them will be smoked in a few hours for celebrating the finish of a large class project with my group, but for the rest... i'll just have to wait :-/
