  • Sticks and Stems That You Don't Need....

    Muchachos, notice anything odd about the leaves I ripped from a plugged puro?

    They all look to be stems or something to me but I don't really have that much knowledge so can't be sure. What I am sure of however, is that picture number 4, is a fruit bat!

        Looks like someone rolled up their old Chamois Leather.

          Well, I can't see the face of the Virgin in the leaf TJ, but those stems do look a bit hefty and banana plant like!

            Look like the leaves haven't been de-veined ?

              Even besides the fact that they haven't been deveined properly (if at all) they still look very suspect. The Tobacco leaves that I've seen have a thick central stem with quite thin veins shooting off but those pics seem to suggest that there are multiple thick veins running through the leaf (unless it is indeed a batwing!)

              I would be interested to know what smoke these came from, a Cohiba 1966 or Monty GR perhaps

                  What an eye sore TJ! Agree with the bat wing theory lol. Could it possibly be an SLR? They do normally have construction probs but the ones I've had were fine. Lucky batch maybe...

                    These ugly stems with leaves attached came from a Forum Favorite - A November 2009 box of H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 purchased from our previous sponsor!

                    The stick was so plugged that I cut over an inch off the head before I got so frustrated that I ripped it apart to see what was going on under the hood, so the speak. Or as the Brits say....
                    under the bonnet!

                    Fortunately, the box is nearly gone and this was the only one that was plugged with stems.

                    Now, does any one know the rest of the line in the thread title?

                      I did notice you do have a rather cool glass table and that you need to use the Macro setting on your camera TJ.

                        A fruit bat would certainly cause a cigar to plug.
