    also, is it safe to consume if managed correctly? I cant imagine smoking beetles is a good thing.

    +1!! I don't like the sounds of this, I usually only buy a few cigars at a time (have never bought a whole box) but after hearing this I don't think I want to. .

    If I ever found bugs in my cigars they would be going straight back to the store I bought them from!

    Sorry to hear about your experience. Although I have not been through it, I can only imagine how much it could be frustrating.

    Here is a very good article on the subject, found on page 59:

    Cigar aficionados always buy boxes. It's part of the passion. This is an isolated event and it should not turn anyone away from discovering cigars and making it a hobby.

    Beetles occur from a sudden and drastic temperature change. You could buy a perfectly preserved cigar at the store and develop beetles while it sits at your house.
