Cheers, folks!

It is with a very, very heavy heart that I'm having to unwatch this thread, folks!

Had a pretty bad health scare recently; was in hospital for the best part of a week, and still got a while to go until full recovery.

It was a chest and lung-related issue, so not the wisest idea to carry on smoking (even though I've still got about 30 cigars left).

Getting notifications on this thread will be too much of a heartbreaker, so will just stick to poker chips and steak, hahah. Happy smoking!

Sounds like the smart move, best of luck for a speedy recovery

Calm Friday night called for a Siglo 6 from the 2010 jar and a Pokerstars session. Wish everyone a great weekend

Found a strange bug in my ashtray. Then found another one. Looked up cigar beetles and it seems most are less than 3mm as described what size they are in cigars. These were a lot bigger.

I've ordered hundreds of cigars lately to keep the pace. Almost all are wrapped in cellophane. I've got some investigating to do.

Did your humidor get unusually hot for a period of time?

Nope. I keep it inside the house at 68 degrees and the humidity around 65%. Now I have been leaving my travel pack in the garage and the temp and humidity has been increasing lately.

Not sure though what cigars these might have come from.

Wow sorry to hear this. I’m paranoid and narodic when it it comes things like this. Lol! Creeps me out!

I live in so cal so it can get hot here. That’s why I had to buy a humidor that keeps temperature. I try and keep it at 62 to 64 deg fh.

Hope everything works out and they don’t creep into your whole supply. DAMN

I like to keep my cigar stash on the cold and dry side. But wow,, certainly you’re not new to this and everything that you’ve gaged seems right? I hope the rest of your collection is okay!

Interested in knowing what you find out.

Cubans or not Cubans? Freeze them upon arrival.

Weird. Crops in the NC world is usually treated against such things. Also they have cellophane. Bigger than a beetle. Weird as well. I have a strict zero tolerance policy. Once I had a doubt and froze all my collection (and I have more cigars than poker chips...damn two expensive hobbies). Better safe than sorry.

Any chance you just got bugs that got into where your ash tray is and they aren't coming from your cigars?

Maybe, but looking at images on the web it looks like an adult beetle. I don't have any experience with beetles before. I'm kind of wondering if the cigar butts I left in the ashtray for a couple of days had larvae and they grew, but searching on this it doesn't seem possible they could grow that fast.

Won $7 in my cash game last night. It was cool and windy. Some cards occasionally flew off the table. Got to try my first taste of Stagg. Wow, 132 proof, but doesn't taste like it. Folded pocket 3s after a KQJ flop. Then 3 on the turn and 3 on the river showed up. Three people out of 9 showed up forgetting to bring cash. We worked it out.
