Hi,
To celebrate a friend's house being sold today, we decided at the last minute to grab a couple of nice cigars to have a celebration smoke tonight. It was too late to get them ordered, so I did the rounds of the two local shops that I know sell Cubans. Unfortunately both were out of stock, so I went to the other shop I know which is slightly further afield.
I was in a bit of a rush to be honest as I hadn't paid for parking and the wardens are hot, took a quick glance at the shops meagre looking selection and my eyes settled on the Partagas bands of a couple of big sticks. I took two of them without really taking too much time.
Now that I have them home and had a proper look at them in the light, I have doubts.
The first is that both caps appear to be different in size. The second is that the band has "Culebras" at the top. The third is that they appear quite bumpy and not smooth as such. They are both straight (relatively), so I'm not actually sure what I have bought. Do Culebras have individual bands on their cigars? The images I've found on google indicate no as it's one band around the 3 twisted cigars.
Do I smoke them, or go back to the shop and turn the bloke who sold the to me, upside down?
