Enjoy! That's good to hear. I have only had one example of a Dip 2 ever, but when I saw these come up a few years ago I figured why not. Will be sampling shortly after a little rest from the travel.

Minor crack on wrapper is still better than puffing asbestos cigars and getting box filled with duds @Bijan. Had a same experience with Montecristo 1935 Dumas but worse crack from foot mate ?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgoodrich Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 10 hours ago, Bijan said: Thanks. Yes it wasn't too bad. But more damage as it stuck to its neighbor on the way out. But it's smoking fine right now as we speak, so all is well. Fortunately the wrapper is mostly for appearance (contributes a small amount to flavor), and a tear rarely causes issues for burning until it reaches the bad spot. Usually a touch up is all that’s needed to get past. Glad it’s smokable and you’re enjoying! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GVan Posted October 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2020 Took a shot on some older boxes of RyJ Mille Fleurs (ELU MAR-14) and (PMS MAR-14). Had to take the picture's inside but they really are pretty dark, shiny wrappers. Going to smoke one out of the ELU box ROTT tonight to get a first impression!! Probably a bad idea for my first RyJ MF ever ... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bad idea for my first RyJ MF ever ... I actually find that ROTT is better than the next few days or couple of weeks. My theory is that if the humidity is off, it doesn't absorb or dissipate at the same rate from wrapper/binder/filler and so it ends uneven before it reaches steady state. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green is normal/common, it’s just the chlorophyll popping up when that leaf got dried, was probably dried improperly. You’ll see it plenty. Don’t stress on it, it’s not mold or anything bad.
