That hole in it is a pretty good indication that little bugger has left the building and is investing heavily in other real estate within your humidor. Everything in that humidor needs to hit the freezer or be tossed.

Very bad stuff. You might have lucked out with the foil. The foil around the Zino's is pretty tough stuff. If you opened the cigar outside the humi and didn't get the cigar around any others, you might be ok.
In spite of all evidence to the contrary, the entire universe is composed of only two basic substances: Magic and bullshit.

I've been curious about CO2 as an effective preservative/fumigant for cigars (or anything else) for quite some time. Here's an interesting link. If you know someone with a home beer keg/tap system, you can get CO2 from them. Otherwise, dry ice is your easiest source. You have the added bonus of lowering the cooler temperature as well!

Take it back and get your money... Don't EVEN think about putting that in your humi... And I'd be very cautious about what you buy from that shop - inspect it VERY closely before you plunk the cash down.
Quality-a function of age
I have been buying from this shop for many years. Took it back this morning and they apologized profusely. Replaced it with no problem. Said it was the 2nd Zino from that box that had been returned. It never hit my humidor so no problem about cross contamination.
Unfortunately it still cost me about $30. I just can't seem to be able to go in that place without spending money.
Smoked the replacement Zino when I got home. Favorably impressed. Tons of smoke. A real chugger. Mild and very smooth. Burned even with a nice ash. No bite or aftertaste. Will definitely put this one on the list.

I think I have beetles too, I found a cigar with two perfectly round holes, smaller than a pencil lead.
They definitely don't look like the picture.
Can I still smoke it?
