so - was the stem problem purely cosmetic or not?

why are you publicly posting your email to them if you're not going to publicly post the response you received?

I'm doing the best I can with my backup camera, and it is NOT working, so please, bear with me.

The trunk that came out of the cigar left a hole so wide and long it turned the cigar into a McDonalds straw.

Does that help for a visual?

Ok, where's the smoking gun?

I am too. Forgive me but I am still wondering, if it smoked and tasted fine, what was the problem. Yes, they cost alot and shouldn't have very large stems in them but they produce tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of them and are bound to have a small percentage that will have those in there. As we all know, handmade products are not going to be perfect every time.

From my ORIGINAL post -

Quote:

..it is becoming a bit of a nuisance to have two of the last three San Cristobal Seleccion del Sol cigars that I have smoked to contain ENORMOUS stems in them.

When you spend $30 for a bundle of cigars, it goes to reason that you'll probably get a few stems and twigs in a few of the cigars.

When you drop $150+ for a box of cigars, and 2 of the last three sticks have tree trunks embedded in them, you notify the company.

I would love to know the answer to both of these. You said once the stem was taking out out it was like a straw. I can surely understand that. But was there a reason you took it out? Was the draw bad, cigar plugged, keep going out etc... Or was you just looking for stems and decided to pull out the pliers from your pocket and pull it out? Just wondering?

Whatever was in the email I'm glad your happy with the outcome.

This is what was pulled out.

a stem is one thing....a tree trunk that collapses the cigar diameter by 1/4" is another story....and to have it happen TWICE?

(the nail is for reference, it wasn't in the cigar)

neoflex · 03-31-2010, 02:35 PM

Did you use the beast to pull that stump out of the cigar?

Dear, Ashton My cigar had this nail inside of it.

I know you said it was for reference but I couldn't resist.
