Finally(?) got a bad CC

[BellevilleMXZ]

While I have only been smoking for about  year,(and maybe smoked maybe 70??) I just had a MC#2 that was awful. Underfilled, full of voids,and the last 1/3 was very off in taste. This was a 10box I had bought in Cuba. So far the other 6 or so have been great. While some I have smoked were just OK, this was awful, stubbed out last 1/3....the first ever.....seems I have joined the club, as I have seen others post of this.Now on to a Cohiba!

One bad cigar out of 70 is pretty good!  Personally, I'd just write this off as a bad box and not give up on Monte 2's if you've liked them before.

Don't sweat it too much as the sensational ones more than make up for these type of cigar-smoking experiences.

Its also going to be interesting to compare the 24:24 box I have , to the ones I grabbed from Cuba, as I sure didn't know much about picking good ones back when I got them

OOOOOOHHHhhhh you Broke your cherry!!!

one among 70 is pretty good odds, but you could have 5 more bad ones in the next 5 you smoke.

when you reach 100,post and let us know.

I have had probably 4 this year that had to be tossed prematurely, and 20 or so that got by with a small adjustment.

so that is 24 this year that were less than ideal right from the box.

This is not counting a terrible box of Partagas that just fell apart as they burned , but had a great flavor and aroma. 

18 of 22 were like this,with 3 to go.

 

go figure.........

I think for quite a few years 20% of the cigars in Cuba are rolled at the Windtunnel Heartbreak Hotel.
