Just right now 9:00pm I punched a cigar I recieved yesterday from CBid & noticed something black was evident just inside the hole so I carefully pinched it & began to pull.... coming out of it appears to be a piece of black trash bag that runs several inches into the length of the cigar if not all the way thru....it is a very cheap stick ????:-k

Pic posted but won't appear till tomorrow.

I just looked these up, and I think I see the issue. The Cbid description hints at this problem:

Category: Boxes

Cigar Size: 5.5" x 42

Not bad, but not great. Toro Bravo hails from the Dominican Republic and combines light Sumatra wrappers with a mixed-filler blend of Dominican tobaccos. The result is a decent, mild to medium-bodied smoke with toasty, warm tobacco flavors and a subtle spice on the finish. The rollers are known for their whimsical sense of humor and love of hijinx. They take pride in incorporating indigenous items in their work. Like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll find -- perhaps a Jolly Rancher, a shard of glass, or even a dab of bodily fluids.

it's an Oro Cubano (dollar stick) & it is, I'm pretty sure a piece of black trashbag. I quit pullin after a couple of inches & took pics, how in the heck could a roller not notice it, it's a couple of inches wide & who knows how long ?

Very possible it is part of a plastic bag.

At the factories, the tobaccos for each blend are proportioned by a small number of individuals and placed into numbered plastic bags. The bags containing enough tobacco for a wheel (50 cigars). These bags are then given to the buncheros as needed - and only when one batch of tobacco is used up, is another issued. It's possible that a piece of one of the bags ended up in the cigar.

As for the rollera, she wouldn't even know it's there. They just take the bunched & pressed cigars out of the mold and apply the capa (wrapper).

Unfortunately, it happens. I've heard of a lot worse - including, nails, paper clips, even a band-aid
