Beetle has hatched. you cooked it an smoked it. Why are beetles hatching in your cigars? figure out why and fix it. MOst likely a mixture of high temp and high humidity.

I was thinking pop rocks too! I introduced my niece to those today, she loved them.

Never had that happen with a cigar. How did the beetle taste? Chocolaty?

You think its the dreaded beetle? The fizzle part looked almost like a fuse to a firecracker would.

The humi it came from is at 70% humidity, and never above. I often find myself struggling to keep that one from dipping below 65% in the winter. I think its the glass top's seal. Its in the bottom floor on my bar, and the temp this time of year is not even 65 there.

As for how it tasted, I cannot say outside of weird. I was not really focusing on it, but definitely not chocolaty? lol

How about this, a concentration of oils. Kind of like a little firecracker going off and fizzle. I would think this more than a beetle.

I had the same thing happen to a Berger & Argenti Entubar last summer, No beetles in my box as of right now.
