Primary school students rolling Montecristo No 2

Ugly looking stick. Glad it had a great personality.

Reminds me of some Dip 2s from years ago.

Good sweat shop child labour is hard to find these days!

That is by far the worst roll that I have seen in my limited experience!;-)

How are cigars like that even allowed to be boxed ? Jesus

I guess even the best quality control has lapses - and they do need feedback to lessen the chance of a repeat.

That is awful..

I have never seen a fake cigar as badly rolled as this one. When I opened the box, I thought that primary school students were on a careers program for the day and were let loose on the factory rolling tables.

What a disgrace. After all the great cigars I have seen rolled in 2006 and the commensurate increase I have witnessed in the standard of construction....to see this piece of crap was a wake up call. The cap resembled a condom, glue on the wrapper adjacent the band and the rest of the wrapper made Frankenstein look like George Clooney.

I have sent photo's to Habanos s.a in the hope that they nail the factory and implement a series of checks within the warehouse for this factory over the coming months. Someone's arse needs to be kicked.

I smoked the cigar and it smoked like a classic powerhouse 06 Montecristo No 2. The draw was fine and the flavours robust. It is just a shame that it looked like a stool specimen.

Hall of shame. Montecristo No 2
