Cuba being cuba

[Iceborg]

My latest shipment just arrived and there is a curious problem with the another box

Both boxes are from same vendor which I trust, authentity check is all right and there isn't any problem which could indicate them to be fake.

Who is the first one to find what is wrong in the another box?

No. 2 bands ?

whats the prize to win ?

[Iceborg]

That was a fast one!

Yeah, both should be HdM Epicure Especials, somehow the other box has wrong secondary bands. Boxes came in the same shipment and the box code is same EML MAY 15. Serial number differs by five so they are done in the same batch.

I think this is another example of Cuba being Cuba

Sorry, no prize at this time

[losttrailer]

perhaps the upcoming US-version of the No. 2 ?

US-Especial will be 60x160 then.

Keep the box and sell it one day as first batch

Nobody ever said Cuba tops the list for quality control!

Meh, it happens. Cars gets recalls all the time, cameras and computers have bugs. Sure Cuba have issues, they are still humans are they not? So mistakes are going to happen.

Taste wise and construction wise, I've found recent production Cubans to be excellent. So much so that my humidor have gone from 50% NC to CC to 100% CC.

I know a retailer who recently received, from their distributor, an entire mastercase of ERDM Choix Supreme with Saint Luis Rey bands on the cigars.

Or was it an entire mastercase of SLR's mistakenly packed as ERDM's?

Ask for a partial refund - No. 2s are cheaper by the stick compared to the Especiales.
