    I ordered a couple of cheap samplers and noticed (many moon later) the cigar roma few days ago had a strange cigar "dust" in the cellophane. I'm guessing this is likely a beetle problem?

    I don't claim to have any in depth knowledge of the incubation process of the cigar beetle, but if I were in your situation, I would place the cigars in the fridge overnight and then the freezer for 24 hours. Afterwards, back in the fridge overnight and then back to the humidor to re-acclimate. Better safe than sorry.

    Some do this every time they receive new cigars. I used to... but then got lazy. Hopefully I will never have to pay the price.

    Mr. Simpson, don't you worry. I saw an episode of Matlock in a bar last night. The sound was down, but I think I got the gist of it.
