I’m noticing the 10 packs of drew estate Java’s are factory rejects. Some are pressed incorrectly, terrible draw, or burn unevenly. Anyone else have these issues? I bought 4 10 packs and continue to have issues. They also don’t have the seal that is always on these cigars. The price was right so I grabbed some but I’d rather spend more on a quality stick.

But, iffin’ they are sold as seconds then it’s caveat emptor and you get what you pay for. [gonzo]

What “seal” are you speaking of…..mazos of 10 aren’t factory boxes so I’m a bit confused.

You do know factories do sell mazos to retailers to refill boxes they already have right? Cbid could be selling these to save buyers $ on the back end and that wouldn’t mean factory seconds.

Another option is throwing your purse at them, re-attach your male wedding tackle and smoke non-flavored cigars.

Ram….pretty sure he/her is discussing these 10 packs which are not “rejects” or “seconds”. But I could be wrong, maybe he’s/she’s buying 10 pack internet “rejects” from a different vendor.

Did the date code show a Thursday manufacture date? On Thursdays, the DE factory swaps out the good leafs and makes only crappy internet cigars. All other days are the normal higher end stuff.

they don't offer "Java" 2nds, overruns, or rejects here or anywhere as far I have seen.
