This sounds good to me. The damage is unfortunate. Thank you all for taking this on.
As far as I know, eggs are inherent in all tobacco. Freezing destroys larvae and, bugs only.
What brings eggs to hatch is high humidity and temperatures. In other words, mishandling. (can I get a witness)
With the damage, all you have is the damage, that's it. All is good. I look forward to getting lots of this leaf.
