Possible Beetle Hole

Looked at a 5er of Johnny Os that I got a while ago that was in a 5 finger back in my wineador and looks like I found a very very small hole that is round in one of them. Also I should have checked the 5 finger bag as well before but there is a hole thats small in it as well but in a different place in the bag. (there is a little trail of plastic still hanging near the whole) so i was thinking that its unrelated and was punctured/torn somehow... These customs were bought from another member who had them for a while so they were not "fresh" so to speak when I got them. I also read a reply before that Johnny freezes all his stock...

So does this look like a beetle hole to everyone? Tapped the foot on a sheet of white paper and nothing came out although this stick is pretty packed. No trails or anything else looking out of place to my eyes on the stick. Been in my wineador at 65/65 for a while now. If this is in fact a beetle might be time to freeze all my stock which I guess I would rather not do unless I have to...

Thanks guys any input would be appreciated!

It's hard to tell from the photos, but from what I see, I'd say it's a defect in the wrapper. All beetle holes that I have seen go much deeper then yours. Most look like someone took a drill, and drilled a hole into the cigar. Yours looks like it doesn't go any deeper then the wrapper. I may be wrong, but from what I can see, I say defect or damage, not a beetle.

Freeze them to be safe and all will be fine.

This...

Anything that doesn't not come from a company I know freezes gets frozen.

For what it is worth from a noob, does not look deep enough to be a bettle hole to me either

I think Argus nailed it. When I had a beetle hole it was bigger and looked much deeper.

thanks for the replies guys.

yea it looked to me like a small whole was just scratched through the wrapper by something. It looked definitely only wrapper deep to me but just wanted to get some more feedback on it... Sounds like its most likely not beetles but I might have to freeze anyways so i can sleep
