Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

I wanted to relax and enjoy a morning off. Grabbed a LGC from the cooler and a book and went outside. Clipped the cap and...WTF is that cloth stuff coming out of the cigar? Pulled on it and a big chunk came out. Gross. Reclipped the cap to see if I could get past it. Looks good, until I notice a slight discoloration, pull on it and heres what I get

More of the cloth and a piece of cellophane! I am glad I double checked after I reclipped it, that stuff can't taste good. I will be contacting the manufacturer about this one. Anyone else find anything gross in their cigars?

Yep... blue plastic tarp in a Monte #2... :ss

I thought I found a white hair in a CAO once, but after contacting the company I recieved and explanation that it was most likely a piece of the nylon twine they use to bind the tobacco bundles together.

whatever, they replaced the cigar and then some, so I was happy.

I've heard of string and even a nail before. It happens.

O.o Now, I knew there were a few quality control issues down there, but lordy...maybe it was malicious - "This'll show those gringos..."

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

Perhaps that's a cocoon of some sort. Seen that before in a cheap cigar. I have also found twine in a few cigars.

I found an image of Abe Yagoda in a Partagas black once.:)

I've heard of worse things in a cigar , like a band aid , a clipped finger nail and a piece of wire once . This usually only happens with machine made cigars . In a hand rolled I would suspect it was a disgruntled torcedor . I mean how could you not see something like that ? :bh

Found a discolored (burnt) staple in my ashtray once after a stick. Didn't see it come out of the ash but then I am 90% sure it wasn't in the ashtray before.

Figure it happens, hell I have had a dead mouse in a beer bottle why not something in a cigar.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

Although rare, I’ve seen this before. It’s the twine or cloth that was used to ferment the tobacco or bind the bales together. I recently saw a picture of something like this sticking out of a CC. I guess the roller was on auto-pilot when the cigar was rolled.

What does LGC stand for, pardon the noobie ignorance.

I found twine in a Tat white once...

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

Ahhhhh, I've had some of those. I'm not noobie to cigars, just posting stuff. I've never understood texting but know LOL and OMG. Never got why people text instead of talk. Maybe thats a new Thread. Thanks for the info

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

I have found twine/string twice. Tastes like Chicken.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

just recently seen a pic on another board of a long white string coming out of a habano after it was clipped.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

Am I the only one who saw this and went "WTF!?"

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

I found a Grateful Dead t-shirt in a Parodi once.

:r

I just smoked one of those, too!

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

I've found similar looking cloth in a cigar once. I've also found nylon shreds from some type of tarp.
I pulled half of a bug egg case, about the size of a navy bean, from the foot of an Opus X. When you think of the millions of cigars rolled each year you gotta figure some foreign objects have to end up in there.
Do you think the torcedors wash there hands after using the bathroom?
Just a thought.:D

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

Jeez, just imagine all the stuff we've smoked that is comfortably wrapped on the inside. :hn The area of the cigar that never sees the light of day. If I were disgruntled, that's where I'd plant my yucky stuff. Might be why the flavor profile really goes south in the middle of the stick sometimes.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

Thanks for that thought.:r

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

My friend's sister found a band aid in a can of tuna once. :pu



Been lucky so far I guess. Never found anything "foreign" in a cigar.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

Actually had found binding twine wrapped down the length with the tobacco of a Fuente Don Carlos once. Pulled it out and it was over 4" long.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

thats the kind of crap that would make me quit something.:lv

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

That's about as gross as it gets, I don't think I could look at tuna the same.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

I've found a dead mouse in a beer also.........must be a canadian thing?

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

It's a convenient way of disposing of the troublesome employees :lv

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

Have you guys been drinking beer with Bob & Doug McKenzie again??? :r

Video clip HERE

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

I have also found a yellow string that runs the length of the cigar.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

I've read that US Customs has found banana leaves and human hair swept up from barber shop floors in fake CC's.
Mmmm, smoke those glass top boxes of Cohibas!:pu

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

:tpd: I found some twine in a Fuente double chateau sun grown a few months ago. It was a couple inches long from what I remember.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

It looks like the roller got her panties caught up while she was rolling your cigar on her virgin thighs.:r:r:r:ih

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

I found those blue tarp threads in cigars before. Don't remember the gar, but I do remember it was falling apart enough that I killed it and dissected it.

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

No, you're not the only one. I was thinking the same thing. I've never seen anything like that. :confused:

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

Now that is gross :pu:pu:chr Beer anyone

Re: Cloth stuff in my cigar?
 

I smoked my first taboo twist today down to about 2.5" and decided to take it apart since I already spent 1.5 hours smoking it to that point(very good cigar btw)...nothing but tobacco inside there!:ss
