    PSA: Check your Crowned Heads Stash

    There have been a lot of people posting on Facebook lately, documenting beetles in their CH boxes. From what I've seen, it's been mostly boxes of Waltz/Rose that have been purchased recently. (After CH announced that these are going to be regular releases and started pumping out more boxes). However, as far as I know they're all coming from the same factory so they all have a chance of being infested.

    I would highly recommend you check all your Crowned Heads stuff, especially if it's from a more recent batch....It would also probably be a good time to start freezing if you never have.

    Side Note: CH is notorious for having great customer service. Jon Huber was personally sending out packages to anyone who had received Las Calaveras this year with any damage to them at all. They have yet to respond to this apparent beetle outbreak in any way, which is not really helping matters lol.

    As an update....Jon Huber replied to one of the admins of another group to relay a message. He's currently dealing with some family matters and once they're resolved he's going to address this.

    I think this is a My Father factory issue. I found beetles in an order of Cracker Crumbs earlier this year, and I'd heard other rumors of beetle issues with both CH and Tatuaje recently.

    I'm freezing EVERYTHING that comes in these days, CC and NC. Better safe than sorry.

    Wow, that's rough. Good luck everyone.

    Only had one beetle, and that was in an Undercrown Corona Viva. It was living a great life until I destroyed it's stogie condo with a cutter.

    I hope it shall remain my only beetle.

    Now I see why @WNYTONY sent me all of those Crowned Heads sticks.
