[ram27bat] On Monday of this week I received a shipment of 2 5-packs of Pioneer Valley MAD Churchill cigars. The first cigar I tried to smoke was so dry that the wrapper was falling off as I was trying to light it. I didn't think to much of it because this had never happened before. I decided to smoke a different cigar. On Tuesday I tried a cigar out of the other 5-pack. It was just as dry. I then checked out all of the cigars in both 5-packs and found they were all in different stages of dryness. I through both 5-packs away. I was quite surprised and very disappointed because this had never happened to me before.

😟

Did you pay more than $7.00 for each 5er?

Oh boy.

TIGER

OK, I'm confused. You titled your thread "Dry Cigars", but then you talk about Pioneer Valley. I thought you where asking about actual cigars.

I have to assume that CI doesn't keep the Pioneer Valleys in their climate controlled warehouse, like they do with the real cigars.

Seriously though. You shouldn't be smoking any cigar OTT (off the truck). All shipments should go into your humidor for at least a month to acclimate.

It happens. Especially if the wrapper is thin. I wouldn't sweat it.

Call Cbid & exchange them asap. Then learn to post on proper board or your Pioneer Valley ordering rights will be revoked.

The hot delivery trucks they take a ride on to get to you does wonders for the cigars. Let them suckers sit in the humi for a while and then try them out.

Man, what you expect. Pioneer Valley is right next to Death Valley, it be dry there.

WTF is a Pioneer Valley anyway?

cbid sux !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea but that sounds like the lower end of their already low end stuff. Something you would bury for a year or two and hope it's smokeable when you fish it out.

stupid is as stupid does,,,
