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 & here is what started coming out...... 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....What would you do, it is a very cheap stick ????

Mojorisin - I am very sorry to see this picture. Which cigar was it? I'll be perfectly honest with you, and this may sound unbelievable.....but things like this do happen from time to time (a lot more often than you might think), and it happens in many, many factories. When rollers work with tobacco, they have piles of leaves on their rolling tables, of which they grab a handful and bunch them together slowly. Unfortunately, they are not always aware that something might be stuck in between a series of leaves, and it gets rolled into the bunch. We've seen cigars from various factories - many of which are top factories - with ribbons, nails, the broken off ends of spoons....you name it. It's scary, and is rare considering the number of cigars these factories produce each day, but it does happen.

Please feel free to give customer service a call and we'll make it right for you, right away.

You should smoke that. Its just recycled filler.

I think I see a beetle too.... 😟

This may explain the flavor of the last Rocky Patel Vintage I smoked...

No, that's plastic. Rocky uses ****![frypan]

I believe Rocky would call this Boron.

Wow, I've never seen that.... 😲

Who the hell knows...his English is **** too!

Looks like one of those new dog walking cigars. Comes with a plastic baggie for disposal of doggie doodie. Super premium.

CBid is sending me a free fiver although I don't feel it is their fault. They didn't roll it. I sent them an email to try & find the company so I could notify them.I'm gonna keep it for conversations sake.
The internet is an amazing deal. I found the company & I'm pretty sure the roller, his youtube videos, & his Facebook page & yeah it was rolled in the USA & the roller studied under Pepin........Maybe I'm wrong ? Amusing & interesting though.

Wow, at least you didn't smoke any of it!

Makes a feller wonder about those sticks that didn't taste quite right huh ?

I am happy to hear everything worked out. Please keep us posted on the 5-pack to ensure it meets your standards. We want you happy, not burning trashbags.

MMM trash bag flavored cigar. Might just have the next big thing there.

Way to go SteveR......Nice to see you posting again!

Thanks SteveR, all is cool 😇

ZRX1200 - I have to limit myself to small doses of the craziness in here 😉

Oh c'mon!!! Go wild [frypan]

Part of a promotion, you got the trash bag, someone else is getting a c-note!
