shrink Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 It is just a shame that it looked like a stool specimen. Rob, I'm sure glad you enjoyed it... it was a stool specimen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigger Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Better to look bad and smoke well than be pretty and plugged, I guess...but that is really, really ugly. Might want to ask around and make sure your source is legit Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Tim Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Yep, that's rolled pretty bad! Glad to hear it tasted good and smoked well, but the factory that put it out has to be "talked to"! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginseng Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Holy crap, literally. I thought you had to have experience and a higher rating to roll the piramides and campanas? I have a few recent Monte 2s that have looked about the same. Wilkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolivariano Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 It takes guts to put something like that in ones mouth. WOW. I'm very curious what H SA has to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Twain Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Similar problem here with a box of ten Montecristo No. 2. Box code is ROA MAY '06. They look Fugly as hell:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobsled Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Wow, that is one fugly stick. I guess quality & consistency are not hallmarks of communism? Or maybe they are just trying to see what they can foist off on their customers? At least it smoked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digi Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 This is pretty interesting. I've only purchased two full boxes of MC2's and both looked like what I'm seeing in this thread. Not as bad as Rob's but certianly similar to Mark Twain's there. That's a funny perspective...I just thought they all had the rumpeled, uneven wrapper goin on.

winelover Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Thinks it's down to the pirimade being quite a tough cigar to roll for less experienced torcedors. I had a 25 box of PSP2 where at least half where overfilled and had no draw whatsover. Similarly, I had a cigar rolled for me at LCdH London, by a then resident female roller, and her pirimade was also too tight to draw from. I think they can really be touch and go. A vitola that I really prefer to check the boxes before I buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 » It takes guts to put something like that in ones mouth. WOW. » I'm very curious what H SA has to say about it. Received an e-mail from our contact in Habanos s.a this morning. They will be running checks at the Habanos s.a warehouse for Pirimides with this code. They appreciated the feedback and have stated that they will take up the matter with the factory manager as a matter of some urgency. Our contact also wanted to know what day/date is our Havana Festival "Aussie BBQ Night" this year Less than 24hrs. Good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
