Not necessarily Crowned Heads fault.  Could have been a local issue (a B&M with an infestation or some guy that bought 5 boxes and infected them at his home, and then sold the boxes.)

I can't shout it loud enough every time we see this happen:  FREEZE ALL INCOMING CIGARS, no matter where the source!

Inspected my box after dinner tonight, and everything looked fine.  Even BETTER than fine as these beauties have all started to develop tiny, sparkling crystalline specks where the oils rise up to dry out on the wrapper.  Of course, since the box was already open, I had to smoke one tonight!    :smoker:

FYI the one video said he found them after opening the new box for inspection after hearing of the problem

A lot of ours were sourced the same place, which was nice.  I know there were a couple different splits on the site.

Guy I know had the same issue recently with some Warped that he got last week so it could very well be the weather that is messing with them. My understanding is that beetle eggs are pretty common in cigars anyway, just never see them because they are kept in ideal conditions.

This gets at what I was thinking. My understanding is the beetle eggs are relatively common they just don't typically hatch under normal storage conditions. Given that it's been extremely hot, I'm worrying this puts any shipments at extra risk. Can someone with better knowledge of this topic than me shed some light? How do I properly inspect sticks for beetles?
I never can understand how anyone can not smoke it deprives a man of the best part of life. With a good cigar in his mouth a man is perfectly safe, nothing can touch him, literally.

Sad part is that they can hatch under normal storage condition, jut that they are less likely to.  I has an outbreak in sticks that never saw temps higher than 73*F.
