I've gone right to freezer in the past. I double bag though. Two days in freeze.. . But I pack flat. You, I see, bundled. So you may want to freeze longer. Withdrawl is about 90 minutes on the counter at room temp. But that is more to defeat condensation. Never any issues.
Most people will wipe, or vacuum their humi out, with an alcohol pad, after a larger, verified infestation. . Paying close attn to corners.
The game there is to eradicate eggs. Wineadors are much easier to wipe and maintain stable humidity during this process due to their molded interior construction. Weather you make that move is up to you. I think you would be fine simply freezing because the cello was not open. And I imagine the other smokes all inspected fine.
I used to freeze all inbound smokes. Nowdays, probably been about 16 months since I have. I got a gifted stick, once, with a similar hole. same as you. Cello wrap not breached. I just isolated t and smoked it rather than discard. I watched my smokes carefully for the next few weeks, never had any further issues.
I inspect all inbound sticks in the kitchen, where the light is better, before I put them in the wineador. Saw a hole one time, in a wrapper, but it was only a hole in the leaf, you could see the binder under it was not breached. This was likely an incident in the leaf in the field before it was deployed as wrap.
But your specimen is obviously a beetle hole.
This is all the information I have on this issue.
