Anyone else getting way under filled El Triunfadors. I have had 2 really bad ones. Pretty hollow towards the middle. The rest I have smoked were great I really like them. My B&M has them as well and they had quite a few loose ones. Curious if it's wide spread or just isolated to a few boxes.
New El T's...

i have a box of #2's and they are all way under filled as well. Especially at the foot. Nothing new as i have found this to be the case with the La Riqueza line too. I also have noticed a huge difference in wrapper color within the box. I have one stick that is literally claro and one that is almost colorado maduro. They smoke alright though!
I started smoking one then put it out, it was burning hot. The other one I have if I pinch the center there's less than a 1/4 inch between my fingers the one I attempted to smoke was like that as well. The others I had were perfect and much more firm with a little give.
Huh - I have not tried one yet but my thought, if they 'feel' underfilled then they are haha! I guess i'll have to give em a shot before I can pass judgment but i hope the rest of you all enjoy yours!
I've not noticed this with either the new El T nor the La Riqueza...all the one's I've had have been fine, burned well, and smoked nice...
I have had a couple that seemed to have a bit of a spot missing fill. All I did was gently rolled the cigar as it burnt down and redistributed the filler as best I could. I have two so far like that but other than that they smoked great and we're burning through them at the cigar shop.
These were definitely under filled, it sounds like it wasn't to wide spread. I have one that's bad still but the rest are fine. I'll be getting more I'm definitely not writing them off. Shit happens.

Gotcha, if I would have read that first message like it were a text message I suppose it would have made more sense. :headroll:

Hmmm ... I've only had one of the new El Ts, so I guess I can't really comment. But the one robusto I had didn't remind me of the La Ricky in terms of flavor at all, though in terms of body/strength I'd say yes. The La Ricky is a great 1st cigar of the day if you want a little spice.
Yes we noticed a small issue in a few cigars and we are correcting any problems now.
Seco leaf can be very thin. The bunchers are grabbing the same amount of leaf to roll but sometimes leaves can be thinner than others.
These are for sure not LA Riqueza natural.

Send them all to me. I love them! hehe. These are lighter in strength,but have great flavor.

I smoked the Lancero today for the first time, I thought it was a fantastic smoke with a great burn to boot, no issues here. From the reviews I've read it seems you only learn to appreciate them more with each one you smoke.
I'm considering buying a box of these so I'll definitely watch this thread

Nope...not close in my opinion...
