...one of these is not like the others....size discrepancy

[El Presidente]

perfect example of size consistency 

Take a cell phone shot of your glaring examples as you come across them.

Looks like a couple of them are on a diet and it's working! 

[Kferguson]

Oh wow that's a slight variation haha.

[alloy]

But señor, they fit in the box......

[CaptainQuintero]

They're just a few concentrated versions, for the Quintero connoisseur

[Raskol]

Looks a lil crowded 

[garbandz]

that's one way to get 26 into a box..............

The green tint on the wrapper on the right is just as worrisome as it's anorexic friends to the left. Perfect stock photo example of the questionable quality control reputation that's been well earned!

Now we know what brand the rollers-in-training start with.

[SCgarman]

At least a few different shades of wrapper leaf also!

Where’d you find these...Ed’s Discount Smoke Shop??

I’m amazed that the people at the factory said “This looks fine...ship ‘em!”  They should be embarrassed...

[ElJavi76]

It's not as egregious as your example from above but, can you pick out the oddball?

[Sean3]

Wow, those Quinteros are FUGLY!

This is communist Cuba, not the Padron factory. The almighty dollar is all they want, and rubbish also makes $$.

I had a Panatela from a RyJ Tubo No.1.

Bloody hell.

[awkwardPause]

I thought this was going to be another box of Trini when I saw the title.

Hey Pres, I have heard you describe some boxes, i.e. the boxes that get sent back to the distributors, as rancid.

Would this be a box you consider fits that description?  I shudder to think what worse boxes might look like!

I send precious few back. Poor boxes are part of the game. 

this is a cheapie Quintero Panatela. I wouldn't bother sending it back.

To be fair, non-Cuban manufacturers struggle with this as well. There have been plenty of times I’ve seen size variation among cigars in NC lines. I mean, I’ve never seen it with a $400 box of Padron 1926, but I have with other well regarded, not inexpensive cigars. This is just an extreme example.
