Rookie needs help here!!
Hello, cigar rookie here. I've just recently started to smoke and collect cigars. About three weeks ago, I bought a box of the A. Fuente Shark #77 from a local cigar store. Just today, I took them out from the humidor and notice some difference on the wraper of the cigar. I never examined the cigar closely before but today I saw some minor holes on the cigar, not deep, but shallow, and some "dots,"( not sure if that's what you call them), that I never really noticed on the cigars. I did some digging and figured it may have been the tobacco beetles since my humidor is slightly on the higher side at about 72-73%. Or could it be my cigars getting moldy?? I don't know how to post picture here but I've included a link to the pics I took on the cigars. Please please take a look and let me know your thoughts, anything would be greatly appreciated!!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/77832411@N04/

I dont see any beetle holes . Couple of bad places in the wrapper that's all. You are doing your cigars a great disservice by keeping them above 65 Rh

What we could have used were more pictures.
Typically, you wouldn't get beetles from over-humidification, but overheating. 72-75% will just make your cigars harder to smoke.
