Then one day, Uncle Fester turns up. Hijinks ensue!

Crap, how was the rest of the box 

[PigFish]

Tabacuba is simply a pitiful company Rob! While people love to bash H SA, this shit is not their doing! This comes from people who don't give a shit. They don't give a shit about the distribution chain (H SA), the vendor (you), nor the customer (me).

Frankly Cuban tobacco (as an entity) would be blessed if they (Tabacuba) just rolled over and died.

People blame the prices on capitalism. This is not capitalism. Capitalism is a market process where the end user gets what he wants and gets quality products, or the company goes by the wayside. This is anything but. This is a typical centralized government product...

FU Tabacuba!

Guys this is just the one box. 

Sure quality is down since  early 15 and starkly down since medio 16 but Cuba hasn't any choice economixally speaking.

The rest were reasonable. There was one that was noticeably paler than the rest, which I smoked (good smoke, actually).  I kept Uncle Fester for laughs. Always fun when well-meaning friends buy you cigars!

Box code RMU DIC 15, in case you're interested.

One box from the "premiere" marca besides cohiba.  From what El prez and Ravi are saying, this kind of crap is frequent.  

Think a box of opus x would look like this? Not a chance.

Holy shit they look like they have been hit with the ugly stick!  What a massive turn around.  This is bad

it almost wants me to try a NC or DR and I may get lucky.  Maybe a Cuban seed NC shade grown, wrapper from

some were in South American, filler from Cameron, and a taste of a nicotine bomb!  Tried an OpusX but way to strong

for my tastes.  My B+M has a shit load of Dav.'s, Fuentes, blah, blah and blah.  So many I have know Idea

what I'm looking at.  What little I have tasted seemed to be not much difference, all the same.  Boring and

a big let down, ah yes "Cuban Seed" Macaron wrapper, filler from somewhere south of the border

can't wait to give it a go "NOT"....

Francisco Donatien and, by extension, Tabacuba don't have Control de Calidad in their lexicon.  The concept, in any case, is meaningless to them - typical of the system and environment they operate in.

FKTARDS!!! Hahahaha! That word is in the "safety off" position in my arsenal of construction colloquialisms.
