LordAnubis Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Had the same experience with these. Bought 10 and so far 8 have been plugged. It was rock solid when I squeezed it. I could barely penetrate the head with my home made cigar-unplug-tool thing. Good cigar tough if you are in jail and need to make a knife from something . Skickas via Tapatalk Just unroll it and re-roll the cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Trinadad Reyes the draw was a shocker it was 1 out of 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 No! I've heard nothing but good reviews on this forum about recent RASS offerings. I haven't tried recent offerings but I quit purchase RASS years ago; this cigar is by far the one that gave me most often some bitterness or these horrid soapy flavours… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 RA Belvederes last weekend. These are crackers when they are not plugged, but something must have gone wrong in the machine when these were made. About 50 % of the two boxes I have are plugged beyond belief. This cigar is notably known for tight construction since the early 2000's. People hardly complained, as the retail price was really low; but cheap or not it's still annoying… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanceSchmerr Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 La Gloria Cubana MdO No. 2 I tried last night. Lousy harsh ass-y-ness. I tried and aside from the odd floral hint, just wasn't even close to good. Tossed it halfway and tried a Bolivar Fabuloso RE Benelux. MUCH better!

Geo17pip Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hoyo PR. Just no flavor, maybe it was because I had two cigars before it. The other one was a Boli PC from 2014 and it also had no flavor. Maybe duds or could be in thier sick period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrotfus Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 My first PLPC a few days ago. Maybe a dud, maybe just not in my wheelhouse. Really didn't do it for me. Have another to try but I'll give it more time to chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Monte PE a few weeks ago. AUG 13 box. Serious void 2/3 of the way through the stick - seemed to actually be missing one leaf and had the most lopsided burn I've ever seen in a CC. The last third evened out, but for such a short and fat cigar, that didn't amount to much. Fortunately, it was only one out of a 10 box. The remaining one seems perfectly constructed and the previous 8 were just fine. So it goes. Anybody else have better luck with cheaper offerings when it comes to construction? My new theory: newer rollers are placed on the cheaper offerings, but being newer, they're still trying to work their way up the torcedor ladder and so put better effort into their work.

eswary Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Long live the King Lancero. Heard some good things about this NC and the newer brand. Construction was stunning and the prelight draw was promising. When put to the flame it showed its true colors....****. Muscled thru the 1st 1/3, then it flew over the over the fence onto 67th Ave in South Miami(if anyone wants it).

I actually enjoyed it (not enough to get a box, mind you) but it had great Dominican and corojo notes along with refreshing citrus from the Peruvian leaf.

sw15825 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 2x H Upman Mag 48 LE 2009. Last 3 actually, garbage. At least this box. I've had mixed results with MDE. Some poor/weak and some were pretty good. Sad they can ruin some things so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftimatic Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Monte 4 of all things. Not bad per say but just tasteless. Nothing to it, the last third brightened a bit and then it was gone. The rest of the box has been dynamite and aging well. Just this one so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxcjs0101 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I had a Non Cuban last night - a Principes Claro. Im not sure if i could call that a crap cigar but it was extremely spicy even after keeping it in my drybox for more than 2 months. The cigar was super spicy and mellowed down a little in the middle but picked up its intensity once it approached the 3rd quarter. The other cigars which were from the drybox tasted fine. Anyone had that cigar before and was this to be expected or the one i had was a dud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
