End of story....

Let me get this straight...you went into the shop...looked at those cigars and said, yum? The owner thinks it is plume? This sounds like the blind leading the blind. Sorry this happened but caveat emptor eh.

Ditto. That's the same thing as buying the green meat from the grocery store and then crying foul when you get sick.

I'm sure you were hoping it was something better but it never turns out that way. I'm really glad you just let it go though...it should have never escalated the way the other thread ended up.

You guys are right that we need to be aware of what we are buying but at the same time a business shouldn't take advantage of a customer - especially when we're talking about something many of us call a "brotherhood". Unless they simply had someone behind the counter that was just running the cash register then they knew these sticks were bad.

A grocery store will sell meat that's about to expire... but even they'll pull a pound of burger off the shelf if it's covered in mold! :hammersma

They could not have given you a better cigar than a Punch Maduro? I mean there are worse cigars but that thing is like a 3.50 stick. The shop owner needs to rectify his practices or his smoke shop will not last long

Glad it got straightened out...but I wish it would have gone better...I agree with the others - you win some you lose some.

Punch Rothchild. WTF kind of smooth over is that??? You really should have told him to get phucked and left. NEVER to return.
