Birthday present to myself

[Batler]

Hi guys,

Its my birthday tomorrow and i wanted to treat myself. So I went to c. Aston in Manchester and bought myself a box of 3 cohiba siglo IV tubos and a monte edmundo tubo.

I'm a bit upset though because I opened one if the cohibas and found that the wrapped was torn on one ImageUploadedByTapatalk1352839079.787698.jpg

Don't know if I can return it?

Siglo IV, if money was no object my favorite cigar ever.

Call them up Ollie, worth an ask as those babies aren't cheap and should be perfect.

Tip top smokes.

The application of that band is a bit shite too....great choice of stick though. Love the IV nearly as much as the VI

[Batler]

Yeah looking at them now they all seem a bit below par. The wrappers on all of them look scruffy and the bands are all a bit wonky.

I think I'm going to ring them and see if I can swap them. I'm not being fussy am I?
Shame I really wanted to smoke one tomorrow

No matey, stick to your guns. Cohiba is THE Habanos premium brand (with a price to match) they should be 100% perfect.

Ok then thanks. I'll have the edmundo tomorrow then

[Stevieboy]

Agree with Nic - no way should you ever pay for sub-par Cohibas...or any CC to be honest!

[Batler]

Yeah I'll take them back then. I just hope I can prove it wasn't me who damaged them...

[nicwing]

I'm also very suspicious about the way the bands are so badly put on. That looks very strange. Stick to your guns Ollie, we are behind you.

Got to agree. Those are expensive sticks and you have paid top retail. Take them back with a smile on your face and all should be good.

Looking at that pic, i would say it's not a cohiba and i'd be asking them questions, the band is very suspicious too, colour looks off, maybe the cam...
Have you got any more pics??

[Batler]

I can take some. The box was sealed with all the correct sticker/labels so if they are fake this is in no way c. Astons fault.

Give me a few minutes ill get some more snaps

I wouldn't worry about the veins but the first one is too rough for me.

[nicwing]

I would stick to the broken wrapper. The second one looks fine.
