Help I just got a package from a friend. In it was a God of Fire Double Robusto by Carlito. Anyways I open up the tube and the cigar has a strange spot on it. Is this is sign of tobacco beetles?

sun spot or something like that. I see more than I think I should but never on that cigar. That one got thru the QC. No bother just set it on fire and enjoy.

Just a blemish, beetles leave holes.

seriously... there is no excuse for this on a $35 cigar. Period! That leaf should have never passed inspection, and the cigar should never have been made let alone pass the final inspection. That's just p-- poor.
