could this be from a beetle?

Not a dumb question at all.

In all liklihood there is no transference if it was in a closed box to other closed boxes, in fact it is likely infestation happened prior to even getting into your Vino. If it was in an open tray I would argue there is more risk.

That having been said, any risk is too much from my perspective. As you can see from my link in my prior post I have had bugs in the past 3 times. My collection is far too valuable, both figuratively and subjectively to risk. I freeze every stick that comes into my house regardless of source. I have frozen thousands of cigars and smoked many hundreds of them. Since I have become fastitious (read anal) about my intake process I have had zero problems
