PSA: Check your Crowned Heads Stash

[lvfcrook1503]

Apparently a few people got a little upset that I posted this on a couple of forums, thinking that I was putting CH "on Blast". So to be clear, that was not the intention here, and I would personally appologize to Jon if it came off that way. Although most of the normal lines don't fit my tastes, I love Waltz, Rose, Paniolo, and Las Calaveras. Even if they promised beetles in every box, I'd still buy a lifetime supply of those and just freeze the bastards if I could afford it. Fact of the matter is, beetles happen in this hobby. Could be from the factory, could be from shipping, could just be the fact that a lot more people have CH stuff in the humidor so we're bound to see more issues like this than before. The purpose of this thread was to give my fellow BOTL/SOTL a heads up that at the moment, more people then usual were having issues with beetles so that they could freeze anything instead of risking it. I do apologize if anyone took it as me trying to talk bad about the company.

I didn't take it that way at all. It kills me when people come drop a complaint about a vendor with their first post, and this is basically the exact opposite of that. You've been here from the start, you've always posted with good intentions (that I've seen, anyway), and you came this time with a smart warning to just check out our CH stuff.

We've all read about how quickly beetles can tear through a humidor, so with something like this there's no time to waste. I appreciate the warning, and even if someone else doesn't, clearly based on the letter above the ends have justified the means in this instance.
