Thanks, was able to put a couple on order.

We do need a DH, but not Carlos "I'm as old as David Ortiz" Beltran, and yes another solid starter for sure. Take some pressure off David Price.

Honestly I'd rather wait and see what Panda can do at 3rd this year and what Hanley could do at DH before I would EVER consider Beltran or Bautista or any of the other old farts they've been discussing. There is of course no replacing david. But come on.

Looks nice in the box, but the construction was horrible. Chased a tunnel the whole way through. And the burn line was nothing less than erratic. Nearly flavorless through the first half.
This doesn't seem to be up to typical warped standards. VERY DISAPPOINTED!
Corona will be getting a call in the morning.

They're dropping another box in the mail today! Hope it goes well.

Why? I'm pretty sure I can tunnel almost any cigar by the initial light. Nice of them to do that but I wouldn't do it.
Same, usually happens if I try one too quick upon arrival and the cigars haven't acclimatized.

Awfully nice of Corona Cigar but completely unnecessary IMO

Guess I've been really lucky over the years because this is a first for me. It was an obvious construction flaw, btw. They looked great, felt great, and were completely sealed in plastic. Thought it was safe. Do you sell cigars? I'll buy some from your shop if you do. I love supporting the natives.

I usually let'm rest up, too, but had to scratch the itch. I was just worried that if the same roller made the whole box it would be a persistent problem, and wasn't willing to take the chance. If you look at the pic you'll notice the cigars were not properly inserted into the cello so both of those faults just weren't a sign of good things to come in my book.

Well I doubt the same roller would roll the entire box... I'm sure the cigars are sorted after being rolled and put into lots similar in color of wrapper... so the chances are slim if that's what you were worried about. I think you rushed them, but that's just me.

Good enough. We'll just disagree on this one.
