El Presidente Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I took the below photo on Friday after I wwent through some Trini Reyes. They were pretty poor. Those on the left were the fails....and bad fails they were. Those on the right (11 boxes) were the PE and HQ. Talk about "lottery odds". Pisses me off no end 1
busdriver Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 That is a poor ratio to be sure. Pics of the sticks?
El Presidente Posted October 3, 2015 Author Posted October 3, 2015 That is a poor ratio to be sure. Pics of the sticks? Picture yellow (almost pure) wrappers and some really consistent poor construction (hard as nails).

klassikkasp Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 That's a let down I do enjoy a good Reyes. Been hoping they cross the 24:24 as well as more BPC and BRC.
Kingcafone Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 What makes them fails/poor boxes? If you sell I'd love them I love Reyes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
mygar Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I guess my question is ... do you as a vendor get a credit on those? I would think so...
djjdhay Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 This is unacceptable that they send such poor product.
leftimatic Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Um...How did the Punch in the background fare? Should I burn my credit card now or just give it to my wife?
LGC Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 If they can't get any type of consistency with wrappers and bunching, it's easy to understand why every cigar you pull out of a box is a coin toss. I know many think that a dark, smooth, and shiny wrapper indicates a good cigar; but it means nothing if the cigar is underfilled or is blended poorly. I conceded to the fact, years ago, that every box is a total crap shoot... regardless of visual aesthetics and box codes. This is when you have to acknowledge that aging will have little to no effect on some cigars.
Fosgate Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Looks like there will be a lot of upset customers buying from retailers that do not open the box and inspect.
vinnyvega Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Bummer. Perfect size for the winters in Massachusetts.

You guys must realize that this problem with the Reyes started very shortly after its release in 2004. In 2005 you could already see Reyes (and Coloniales) with ugly wrappers, underfilled or overfilled, devoid of any aroma - specially those in the cardboard petacas... The fact that the "bad ones" are now the majority is just a typical cuban episode IMHO…

You see the efforts from the seed up through the making of the box, person putting the bands on, selecting even color grades across the box. Then there are those lines you think blind meth addicts are working on that don't give 2 shits with a quality inspector passed out drunk in the corner not inspecting. You would think know they are rolling just absolute crap and have the pride in their product....like HSA markets they do.
