I have smoked through a box or two of these in the past years, but today I found something nasty I have never seen before in any cigar!

The Cigar: Caldwell 22 minutes to midnight - maduro corona extra

The problem: After cutting the cap off, I smoked for a few minutes and then looked at the cut tip and noticed something off color wise. Sometimes you see different color tobacco, but this was different...it was white. I pinched it and plucked it out and WHAT THE FUCK is this???

I have never seen anything like this, but it grossed me out and is NOT something I expected to find in this brand! These are not cheap cigars at $320 a box. I have heard of rat hair and shit being in fake CCs, but this is really weird. I almost want to write Caldwell and find out why or how this could happen.

Anyone else found something like this?

Write Caldwell and the vendor both, letting them know.
