rad1964:I think they would just pop/explode.. and then you'd notice. I do not think that if for some reason you did not notice a hole in your cigar that the cigar itself would smoke smoothly. You'd notice at some point, whether its a strange smell, a popping sound or a hole.
kaspera79:Damn... That makes me feel sick just to see that.. I would be soooo pissst.
Matt Marvel:What would happen if you had beetles, but didn't notice, and smoked an infested cigar? I would think you would just get sick maybe?
jlmarta:I don't know whether the smoke ran 'em out or what but each time one appeared I'd just take the tip end of my pocket knife blade and remove it. There were only 2 or 3 all told. Didn't seem to affect the taste any at all and it was too good a stick to ***-can. Oh, well, maybe us old hands who grew up in Detroit are just tough enough to handle the small stuff. Marty

Marty HaHa that must have been funy to see. Pretty hard core to have live beetles coming out of your lit cigar and just keep smoking it.
I've never had any trouble with beetles *Knock on wood* but I don't think that I could smoke one that had any in it. Just the though makes me want to run to my humidor and check everything (unfortunately i'm at work).

Most likely many cigars you've smoked has had some type of beatle on it... either larvae or a young beetle...

I can handle thinking that. But if anything that I can see starts crawling out, then I might just throw my cigar as far as I can and scream like a little girl.

You know the FDA has a certain ratio of critter parts that they allow to be in your food enabling it to be shipped? It's pretty gross.
Luko:I'd rather gobble a fistful of beetles than think of Lassy's butt (aka duck) butter again. Now I know what Mexican Elvis used as lube.
tshaw:lasabar, is that what some cigars with a loose draw come from? the mowr i had today had a VERY loose draw, too good to toss though. could it have had beetles?
