Did you find live beetles, or some sticks with damage?  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!

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.

I’ve just bought a box with this code and year. Can’t wait to try one! These have become favourites of mine; don’t think I’d ever have tried them were it not for this forum!

You've picked up Por Larranaga Petit Coronas with six-and-a-half years age on them? That sounds just perfect!

Got them for a really decent price too, and they look and smell fantastic! I’d be quite surprised if I manage to age them for a further two years!

Price on those is outrageous...worth it ?

I bought couple of boxes when I was at Denmark summer 19 at retail and really liked them, online shops have been marking them up like crazy, for a short smoke definitely won’t pay more than retail

Has the cayenne spice toned down yet on the Chefs? I was going to wait another couple years before trying another

It is still very powerful yet flavorful cigar. I can imagine it being even better with a few more years of age. Smoke one now and see for yourself.
