I live about 20 minutes from Perdomo's home office. I went by a few months ago and bought a box of CC's. Seriously, the whole box was plugged. Everytime I smoked one, I felt like I was taking a pulmonary function test. Tried clipping; the gar is only 4 inches long!!! I used a poker.....no good. I actually have one left in my humi. I will let it sleep for quite a while until I try again. Strangely enough, I recently got 5 pack of "The Cigar"....of the 4 I smoked, 3 were plugged. What the heck!!!
Oh well......CI gives them great reviews. Maybe they neet dry box or plenty of humi time.
