Too bad they have been discontinued I guess you are lucky to get them because when I got a box from that 24:24 VRDA sale mine were a different box code that Rob posted NOT "BMP SEP 16" and the wrapper of my cigars were significantly darker than the nice golden colorado brown wrapper color that you got and like the pics of the box on that Rob posted on the sale (see below picture). I guess I will keep my box because they are discontinued but I am Highly Disappointed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaclub Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I specifically hunted for the RyJ Wide Churchill with a rare in a recent years light wrapper(claro, claro-colorado), because they have a delicate flavor, different from Colorado/colorado-maduro (roasted tobacco flavor). Code TRU JUL 18You prefer the claro ones now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Popular Post awkwardPause Posted October 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2018 The last of my recent buying binge starting to roll in. Now just to stop... 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). 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some information for you in the future. If you're not satisfied with a purchase, and have not published your feelings to the public in a non professional manner, Rob and company are very open to feedback and discussion. Next time, send a professional DM to Rob and I am sure he'd work with you. Also, I do know that @prodigy has a great collection and could definitely make you a great trade or purchase offer. You could take him up on that and then ask Rob to hunt you down a box you are looking for. I have seen some great boxes Rob has selected for people based on their request! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably smoked 20 or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m thinking as well, feel can be deceiving sometimes.

nKostyan Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 You prefer the claro ones now? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIt 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaclub Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 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."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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
