Hey everyone, I'm a huge fan of premium cigars, and I wanted to know if anyone else on the forums enjoyed the occasional stogie as well. If you do, what are some of your favs? A couple of my new favorites are the A. Fuente Sungrown as well as the Camacho SLR. Discuss...

We resold both hand rolled and machine. Well their is this little tobbacco worm that is prevelant in all tobacco. It lays eggs and dies and through all the processing and cleaning the eggs still survive. Some tobacco companies will use insecticides to eliminate 80% of the eggs, but they are still there. Another technique is the freeze method which is 100% effective but expensive. The cigars get frozen down to -30f and this causes the eggs to burst preventing the larvae from hatching. The Eggs that survive the insecticides will eventually hatch and the worm will go to work on the Tobacco. If you have seen a cigar with small pinholes, then you have seen the handiwork of this bug. Of course the worms stay within the wrapper until they are visible and big enough to eat through the generally drier harder wrapper. Just the beginning, ill put more here later.
