You think a roller could have rolled up a nest of eggs without noticing it?

Just seems like it would have to be a pretty darn small spider. Even then it seeme like a tight crawl.

I smoked a "Spirit of Cuba" cigar yesterday that had the same type of thing. I cut the cap with a V cutter and pulled out a bit of what I thought looked like cotton. I wonder if it was a spider nest also or maybe it was just some cotton that somehow got rolled up in it. Anyway, I smoked it. Didn't like the cigar at all.

Its possible. If the roller was not the one who destemmed the leaf, they could have easily just picked it up from a pile and bunched it with other leaves without noticing. If they were responsible for destemming that particular leaf as well as rolling its less likely for it to have gone unnoticed, but still possible. Easiest way to destem is to fold in half and pull the stem out, if the web was on the inside of the folded leaf it could go unnoticed fairly easily. These are handmade products made by people on somewhat of a schedule. Hence why we end up with a plugged cigar every so often.

Sorry you had to find that, I would be pretty weirded out too! But honestly, who cares what company this was? If he said it was a Liga, would you guys really stop smoking/buying them because of this thread? If it was a Padron, Tat or Fuente, would you really stop smoking them if you found out it was them? Sure I might think differently if it was from a company with a bad rep already, but I really could care less as sh*t happens.

Heh, and here I thought it was the new test blend for this year's Monster Series...

The spider could have gotten rolled up into the stogie and spun the web after it was already inside. It would have been much harder for a roller to notice that.

Anyone ever hear the estimate of how many spiders we eat while we sleep? I believe it was 8 in a year. It was part of a bunch of statistics that were mostly debunked, but on this one, the expert said the estimate was probably too low.

Smoke more spiders! - so you don't have to eat them later.

Is that what causes bad morning breath?

Spider webs could improve a cigar. I don't think the spider eggs would though. We have to get a blind taste to make sure, right?
