Cohiba Fail

[godpheonix]

welcome to the world of cigars, where every cigar can bring you a mixture of  the good, the bad or the ugly! No matter what brand!

I had my first dud Cuban last night.  I have just gotten back into the hobby about a year ago and only smoke once a week.

I tried to fire up a Cohiba Pyramid extra tubo I got from our host last night and after the initial light I could see a hole was tunneled through (or just missing) and wouldn't let the cigar burn.

The outside of the Cigar was beautiful the end looked great, I guess they forgot to put in a roll of tobacco.  I felt the cigar up and down and it was underfilled.

I guess the almighty Cohiba brand is not immune to poor construction.

Any one else with similar issues?

 

Man, that's a bummer. I have limited experience with Cohiba, but you'd hope that given the price premium, they'd take extra care to make sure construction is top notch. Not sure if they do or not. Hopefully, it was just a single dud.
