Worst Box Ever!

[TJCoro]

Muchachos,

A while back, senor CJ started a tread on Plugged Puros. So I thought it would be interesting to talk about your Worse Box Ever!

For me, it's a box of Bolivar Coronas Gigantes (box date Aug 08). Every single stick was plugged to some degree, many absolutely un-smokable! Even my trusty "Draw Porker" could not save these sticks.

As you can see from the picture below, the one I tried today practically exploded as I attempted to unplug the bugger! What a waste!



And before you ask, the box is stored don TJ's massive unit (humidity ave. 68%) along with his other fine puros.


Names Perro, el Perro, and I should have sent the box back

OUCH, thats a big hit given the price of these bad boys.

Sounds like these were even too bad to pop in the 'Tight Gits' thread amigo

BTW, your exploding stick shot is not showing (for me at least)

a stick of that length, try using a bbq skewer
but seriously..... i've found that draw pokers are probably the best bet (hardy har har, we get the pun. get on with it then) when it comes to these fuckers. BHK 52s are notorious for being tight as well and they're around the same price as these per stick, no?
a little prodding in and out with the poker should get it loosened up for a fine smoking......

That's a real drag TJ, as said a crying waste. Never had a problem with a Bloi CJ myself, only the Coronas Extra, which I believe has a rep for it. I'd have sent them back to my supplier after 3 or 4 duff sticks, must have been a good claim for a replacement box. Guess if you have kept them for a few yrs before starting them that might be a bit trickier.

if I had spent this much on a box it would have been for a special occasion, if they had been duds then I would be strait back to where they came from.... If there was an issue returning/exchanging them then I could see me falling out with someone big time.

I trust it wasn't a cab of 50 TJ?

Worse Box Ever!

I trust it wasn't a cab of 50 TJ?

OMG NO! THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!!!

So looking at it that way, it wasn't as bad as it could have been, right senor simplesimon?. I feel better now...

As far as sending 'em back, they laid around for so long I didn't realize that so many were plugged until long after the purchase. And TBH, I can't remember who I bought them from, but I have an idea and most of the stuff Rav....errr, damit! I mean "the vendor" provides is top-notch stuff!

Perro, el Perro

That sucks TJ but it can happen.

Nothing to do with the supplier (on the whole) and everything to do with Cuban QC.

[TJCoro]

THEY DON'T SUCK!

Actually, I wish they DID suck!

Now, most were plugged between the band and the head. Anyone care to guess why?

Haha! Easy there Blu-Balls...let the lads have a go at it.
