Why? Have you smoked one? Are they bad? They may just need a little extra rest--no big deal.

No, I have not tried one yet because I just received the box today.  The picture I posted is the sample box VRDA on 24:24 that Rob posted.  Mine are significantly darker.  I prefer on the VRDA a nice golden colorado brown wrapper color.

The vrda are so much better with darker wrappers. If you are not happy I'll trade or buy them off you. I'm down to a few and wanted dark wrappers so I passed. Send me a PM.

Thanks for the offer but as I said on the post "I will keep my box because they are discontinued but I am Highly Disappointed."

I kept my initial sentiments out of my original message. Publicly shaming foh because you aren't happy is a good way to get the boot for good...

The last of my recent buying binge starting to roll in. Now just to stop...emoji15.png

 

On a side note...how many folks are having draw problems with these nowadays? This is a beautiful box but some feel really hard. Hoping they’re not all pegs because that would destroy my soul (that’s right). emoji24.png

The wrappers look fantastic. Look like they have incredible texture.

I have a few boxes from 16,  they feel hard, but so far no issues, smoke great. Probably smoked 20 or so.

Thanks for the feedback! That’s what I’m thinking as well, feel can be deceiving sometimes. Now to keep my grubby mitts off them for some acclimatization downtime...

You prefer the claro ones now?

It is like a first love. The first time I tried the series of Churchill in claro, before many years they were only such for sale. Therefore, I smoke more claro. But it is luck that we can smoke these beautiful cigars with different tastes.

PM would probably be a better way to deal with this.
On a side note, I have received many boxes with different box codes listed. This is why Prez says "mostly" with an asterisk beside the code. Also, take a snap shot of a box of cigars with different angles, in natural light, artificial light, with flash and without. You will see many different shades of wrappers from seconds to psp. You won't always get a box with the same shade posted on 24:24.

Nice score, personally those health warning labels really mess with me. Does anyone else have that issue?

Cigars didn't deserve those awful warnings they inherited from cigarettes. No scientific Research has been conducted on the dangers of cigars... I would love to volunteer to smoke free Cigars for experiments on the dangers of cigars. :-)

Well there are obviously more health dangers involved in smoking cigars than not smoking them. But I don't know anyone who inhales and chain smokes cigars.

Ok, rant over lol bad segue

My dad inhales into his lungs... when I protest, he says that I was not yet in the world, when he served in the army and smoked Cigars that way: -) More I do not treat him cigars :-)
