I just received three boxes of cigars from friends returning from Cuba. Upon opening the D4's I noticed a hole in a cigar. Then once I went through the whole boxe I found seven cigars with holes. I know it is definitely beetles.
This is the first time I have had to deal with them. I always freeze new stock regardless of its origin.
How long should I keep them in the chest/deep freezer (set to max) to make sure the beetles are dead?
FYI R&J shorts and CoRo were without any holes but are currently in the freezer as well.
Please let me know what you think?
Also, are the cigars with the holes junk or smokable?
