Second Generation Beetle Damage
What does it look like? I am loathe to say this, but I discovered a perfectly round tiny hole in one of the RyJ's my girlfriend brought back for me from Germany. I emptied the entire humidor and looked over every cigar and tapped the ends out for loose bug-eaten flakes, but nothing. Not a thing. I don't know where the thing went. It's possible that the cigar had it before she gave it to me, but I'm going to guess that the un-humidified environment she kept it in on it's way back from Europe would likely have kept that from happening.
Soooo... the question is this. What does second-generation or secondary beetle damage look like? I'm (unfortunately) familiar with what it looks like when a beetle chews its way out of a stick, but what happens then? Do they chew other holes in other cigars to get back in? Do they just casually munch on wrappers until the whole thing dissolves? Since I currently have no inclination to freeze my whole humi, what should I be looking for? |
