Cloth stuff in my cigar?

dannyboy · 12-03-2008, 01:40 PM

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?

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..."

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 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 ?

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

NCRadioMan · 12-03-2008, 01:48 PM

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