Tobacco Beetles.

I had bought a box Cohiba Esplenditos from a smoke shop in Elk Rive, MN on May 18th of this year. I have had it in my closet with all the rest of my cigars since. I am down to my last two. The problem occured just yesterday. I was driving in my truck with a buddy of mine and all of a sudden I was not getting any somke. The cigar was still billowing from the other end and I was quiet puzzled. It turns out that I had moved the band just slightly and revealed two pin holes and a suiglly trench in my cigar. Needless to say I was angery.

The Question is, is this my fault, my sellers fault, cohiba's? And then the second part to the question is what can I do to prevent this in the future and will it sprend to others if they are all in tubes and plastic wrappers?

Thanks. I was reading somewhere else that if you freeze them it will get rid of the beetles. However there was disagrement as to wheather that would damage the stick.

So Iguess my final question is would I want to do this to all my sticks when I first get them, if I am planing on putting them with other. And how long is a good amount of time to leave then freezing?
