Did this come out of the box? If it did, this would be the second one from that source.

watch - was this from a box that you received sealed or from an open box at a b&m? if it was a sealed box could you please pm me the info from the qc sticker on the bottom of the box along with the vendor and approx date of purchase, and I'll make sure Jon gets the info so he can look into it. Thanks.

I had sim experience with one. It was a lot smaller but a perfect square. I didn't care at all though. It smoked great and I love under crowns.

4 boxes of Grand Toros and I've never remember seeing a patch on any of them. All my boxes where sealed and from some other auction. Maybe I'll have to go through all of them.

I got the 1/2 box in a split w/ forum members, so the box was not sealed when I got it. I do have the box, though. The stick was still in its cello, and the original sealing tape strip was unblemished. Dunno if that helps. I didn't find it a huge deal. Not angling for anything, just commenting on it is all. A patch is only offensive to me if it is sloppy, or of an obviously different tobacco. As stated, the smoke was still great ,and worth what I paid for it in my opinion.

^ I think Adam just wanted to let someone know not get you freebies......


Their marketing as a super premium and I think TG is wanting to help DE maintain that image. Most reasonable people just care how they smoke and taste. But a super premium brand shouldn't have patches this visible.

Sadly, I can't vouch that the box is/will be a match for the stick in question. Now that I ponder the question, I recall that I added a few UC robos from a previous buy into the box, mixing sticks of different origins. I do know as I stated that the seal tape on the stick was intact. That's about all I can nail down, though. *shrug*

I didn't see your post as an attempt to solicit freebies.

Patched cigars aren't supposed to leave the factory AFAIK, yet sometimes they do accidentally slip through, as a friend, I'd like to let Jon know the QC box code (if you have it) so that he can look into it because he actually does care and doesn't want things like this happening.

I'm going to start a new humidor ... I mean, ORPHANAGE for poor patched Undercrowns. I will give them all a loving home! Until I set them on fire, that is.

watchurai, Gimbel, Guido099 & Campage:

I spoke with Jon this morning, he expresses his apologies about the patched cigars and that sometimes it does happen, and not just at DE. He also said he would like to make it up to each of you with a fiver of Undercrowns and a +11 t-shirt. If each of you could please PM me your email address, t-shirt size and snailer, I'll pass these along to Brooke and he'll get your stuff out to you.
