Having a Trinidad Reyes last weekend from a pack of 5 I purchased. The cigars come in individual boxes. When I went to pull out the cigar I found a little "friend" (see photo)

Silence of the Lambs?
It looks like a small roach...I'll try to post a better pic. The cigar was unharmed and stellar. Didn't know if this had ever happened to anyone else? I've heard about cigar beetles but have never seen one.

Honestly, from the very clear picture it looks like a roach.
My son's phone has a much better camera than mine...it does resemble a roach. No damage done to the cigar but it looks like he was trying to chew his way out of the box.
That's nasty. I hope he didn't get too much crap on the cigars...
No holes in the cigar, and it was individually boxed so no contamination of any other cigars. Just something I had never encountered before. Wonder how many of these are running around the factory?

AGREED! haha.
Now that I see it, could be a roach species. But you'll be fine.......... hopefully.

Looks like Habanos threw in a freebie Gurkha! You lucky devil.
Exactly what I did! And it was very good.
If I ever come across that, they're all yours free of charge. I couldn't stomach that, roaches and their crap gross me out soo bad. I feel like I need to wash my hands just looking at that picture. I know, I know about what's probably in our food and I know they're harmless but it's just my thing, we all have our things.
