    Is this a beetle?

    Brand new Padron cigar. Only 1 of the cigars look to have a deep hole. Another bruised but figured that was from shipping. Is this a beetle? I only noticed one cigar like this and it was on the head/cap.

    Looks too jagged to be a beetle. The holes tend to be round or a cleaner channel from what I have saw.

    I doubt it's a beetle any dust coming out of it. Should be a fine powder?

    Just looks like a cracked cap. Probably from shipping or mis-handling. Perhaps it was dropped on its head.

    Thanks all. It was packaged in a group of 5 cigars. Probably just dropped on it's head then. I didn't see any dust, but will monitor it for a week as I separated the cigars to a ziplog bag.
