    I've never had any trouble with beetles *Knock on wood* but I don't think that I could smoke one that had any in it. Just the though makes me want to run to my humidor and check everything (unfortunately i'm at work).

    Most likely many cigars you've smoked has had some type of beatle on it... either larvae or a young beetle...

    I can handle thinking that. But if anything that I can see starts crawling out, then I might just throw my cigar as far as I can and scream like a little girl.

    You know the FDA has a certain ratio of critter parts that they allow to be in your food enabling it to be shipped? It's pretty gross.

    I just don't like bugs. I would freak out if I was smoking and a bug came out. I actually did go and check every stick in my humidor.

    Isn't it somewhere around 1 beetle's worth of bug parts per gallon of peanut butter or something? Not a big deal, a little protein never hurt you.

    I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.

    http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/05/06/29/how_many_insect_parts_and_rodent_hairs_are_allowed_in_your_food.htm Scroll down a bit, and you can find out what is allowed in certain foods. I'm trying to find it on the FDA's website, but it seems to be down right now.

    I think they have the same stuff for our water and such...

    That's why I only make my own peanut butter... oh wait, I mean Butt Butter

    That's funny Viseron , because I did that very thing. And one of my cigars had to go into isolation. Probably nothing, but just to be safe ...

    I'd rather gobble a fistful of beetles than think of Lassy's butt (aka duck) butter again. Now I know what Mexican Elvis used as lube.

    LOL. Exactly what I was thinking! They creep me out - the thought of one crawling out of the end of my cigar and into my mouth... ugh!!!

    I would assume that a loose draw on a cigar would be due to either just bad rolling of the stick or not enought tobacco. I don't think it would mean beetles every time. I can see beetles causing a loose draw, but not every cigar with a loose draw will have beetles.
