Still the question remains, where the heck this 'thing' has it come from!?! I am pretty convinced that this pest is hosted somewhere else, since during rest of summer after initial treatment my plants were looking healthy.
Here is the link. You have grubs. Look into the petioles where the cigar leaf is emerging. Mix an insecticide solution and pour it in to the petioles. repeat once a week for a few weeks. Don't cut any more leaves off.
