The green does appear on the bands only, it appears. There's a tad of white-ness here and there, but the green on the bands is the real sad part here.
 
Do I just cut off all the bands into the trash, and hope for the best?

Shoot I'd say you lucked out if all you're potentially tossing are some bands.  I'd check to see if anything seeped through underneath onto the tobacco itself.  Should be ok if nothing is on the cigar.

Inside of one of the top cigars.. almost just want a refund; am I wrong for feeling this way?

Take a deep breath and understand that your investment in these cigars have not been lost, I assure you. Variances in temperature and humidity has caused the oxidization on those bands, the cigars themselves are okay and I have every confidence they will smoke okay too. Some further reading for you below...

Thanks. The green doesn't actually seem to be on the cigars themselves.

I suppose I'll just let them rest to see if the green grows at any rate, and cut the bands off then if need be.

Thanks, again, JohnS!

PLPCs showed up! Damnit... what is all this green?

edit: am learning it could be due to oxidation - a relief!

 

Those bands must have lead in them and the box of cigars should be disposed of properly. I’ll send my address to ensure it’s done right! 
 

In actuality beautiful cab with some oxidized bands. Enjoy!!

Nice arrival today. Incredible difference in wrapper colors. I’ll be curious how the tastes compare

[NicPac]

Another solid day for my mailbox

Just got my first order from you know who.  Let the waiting game begin.

Thank you to everyone who makes this forum possible.  I'm enjoying cigars more than ever thanks to the discussions on this forum.

Partagas Shorts UEB JUL 18 and Hoyo de Monterrey le Hoyo du Maire TEO FEB 19 from FOH.

One of the Hoyos I've wanted to try but haven't. How is construction and draw?

Only had two so far. Construction seems good. First one had draw a tiny bit tight but smoked ok. Next one was perfect. I'll probably have one or two more. I'll let you know if it is notable.

Smoke time on both was almost exactly 20 minutes. Though I might smoke a bit faster than average on this forum. For comparison the party shorts lasted me 35 minutes.

Thanks for info. I hear from others that they age very well

[asudevil08]

Just another good day at the mailbox.  Gonna be tough to let these sit for awhile. 

[BellevilleMXZ]

Grabbed a nice 50 ct of nice shorts locally

these tainos are from a couple of weeks ago:

the rest hit today, and imagine my surprise with this box code. to be honest though, they may have been advertised as such on 24:24, but i don't remember; rafael gonzales petit corona:

excited to try these reyes:

and a sixer of the bolivar silver jubilee. the one i smoked from the christmas sampler was one of the best cigars i've ever had, i want to land a box, but have missed lately:

Thank goodness my mouth loves the cheap and the cheerful otherwise I’d be more broken than I already am!

[Jbhunter223]

Been a while since I’ve bought anything.  Made two purchases in the last couple months, one still has not shown up.  This one came today, never had one before.
