Dried out, flaking, busted up cigars....

[Tillers]

So I'm all excited to try the Macanudo Vintage 1997 I just got in. I open the box and there's flakes all over the place. At least 4 of the 12 cigars have destroyed ends, appear as though they were dehydrated and dropped on end. The damage doesn't look too bad in the picture, but it's more than just some flaking, it's falling out from the insides as well:

And the wrappers are dried up and flaking off:

Bummer, I was looking forward to these sticks as I have only been able to find them at one place and not sure they have any more. Plus, the box they came in would make a great desktop humidor. Gonna email them about a return.

Unfortunately that happens alot with Mac's. They made the one line that is a pretty damn good cigar. But this isn't the one.

I bet that they taste better in this condition, rofl

Look at this way, when your smoking one and you get "something" in your mouth, there
will be no second guessing to what it is. Follow that up with a "what the f'k" did I just buy
and you will be fine.........Enjoy them........or not.

Been there. I'd get my money back and never buy from that retailer again.

Look in the Retailer Forum for deals.

Well, I'm not going to get a chance to confirm you suspicions that they are a horrible cigar. Ended up sending em back. They are going to issue a full refund plus shipping costs. :thumbs:

Now I can spend the money on something else delicious (Montecristo or Casa Magna) :whistling:

Casa Magna

I've been smoking the Casa Magna's for a while now and really enjoy them. Had a Montecristo this past weekend and really enjoyed it

I enjoyed the NC Montes when I first started out, but then I did the Newbie Sampler Trade and never looked back. I'd take that cash and try it if you haven't already.
