It’s possible the eggs were dormant and woke up when the humidor warmed up enough. Also possible that the beetles came from outside the humidor, maybe they’re somewhere in your environment, or they came from a different humidor/box. Check any other humidors or boxes you have. I would just put the entire humidor, cigars and all, in the freezer for a week. That’ll kill whatever is in there. I currently suspect it's a case of warming up allowing the eggs to hatch. No signs of anything in all other humidors thankfully!
Popular Post JohnS Posted November 15, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 15, 2020 Por Larrañaga Petit Coronas EML Abr 2014 I was able to smoke this aged Por Larranaga Petit Corona due to an anonymous benefactor who gifted it to me. (Thank you kindly- you know who you are!) I can tell you that the box code was a reputed one for 2014. How did it smoke? I can tell you that in comparison to recent 2019 Por Larranaga Petit Coronas I've had, this was no better or worse, it was just different. It certainly had more caramel, but with it there was some honey, some muted toasted tobacco and the hint of baking spice on the edges. I appreciated where this cigar is in its journey to this point but I know that this will build in caramel and baking spice notes even more with further time down. How long? If it were my box, I was consider another two years at least. 28

Popular Post JohnS Posted November 16, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 16, 2020 San Cristóbal de la Habana El Príncipe TOS Jun 2016 Sometimes you smoke through a box of cigars and every now and then you get a 'throwback', i.e. a cigar that tastes like it first did when you got the box. In the case of this TOS Jun 2016 box of San Cristobal de la Habana El Principe box, the last few cigars have had a softer pancake-textured consistency to them. Today's SCdlH El Principe certainly did not! This example had much more spice, much less sweet molasses and little to no pancake-texture to it. The usual coffee/cocoa combination you get with the San Cristobal marca was about the same in its intensity. Still, I've smoked enough SCdlH El Principes to enjoy this regardless. Nevertheless, I'd much, much prefer them on the sweeter and milder side! 28

I can imagine it being even better with a few more years of age. Smoke one now and see for yourself. 1
