Your latest CC Purchase?

[Hammer Smokin']

I'm afraid the wrappers are so bad my camera would break in pain. 

I can't believe they were wrapped around a Cohiba branded cigar. Worst wrappers of any cigar I purchased. (but maybe they'll turn out ok). 

I purchased a fiver pack earlier this year, and they were nicer. Just picked up 6 tubos from 24:24 (last week?) ... they haven't been shipped yet, but I think they are MAR code.

I'll just chalk it up to "clearance" cigars, which they were labeled as.

I won’t pass judgement until I smoke one! But yeah the wrappers are rough.

Unfortunately cohiba should not be clearance. Especially the price you pay. IMO they should be the best wrappers coming out of cuba.
Mind you I got some sig 2 a while back that had some terrible looking wrappers. They smoke fine however which is most important.

I bet these Sig III's smoke fine. (at least I hope so). 

but I've never had a "emeraldo" wrapper before.

Green cigars used to be the norm for the US market, still a few around in NCs:

Funny thing is the one cardbord box I inspected was the cigar on the far right. That one has by far the worst wrapper. It’s rough and dry. The other 4 look decent to good. They’re darker than that ideal Cohiba wrapper but I think they’ll be just fine! 

The Cigarvalanche continues! Those of you on the west coast probably know why months of orders are all coming at once lol. I’m excited to smoke the Unicos soon and the lanceros in the distant future!

mehhh they look fine.....i was expecting far worse lol ......im sure they will be delicious.....i will say however, i do think there is no excuse for cohiba not to be perfect given the price...its ashame but thats the gamble we take even with ultra premium brands

Haha that picture is a bit like that Realtor headshot from the early 90’s that is still use on their card today. They look better in the pic than in person. Apparently I found the perfect lighting in my house ?. The one on the right is not good, the other 4 are fine. But I agree...but that is the risk and the charm about CC’s. You just don’t know which one is going to be that magical experience!

@Bijan those Lusi wrappers are out of this world 

[RDB]

Yeah those Lusis look fantastico. Nothing beats a 50 of good looking Lusis!

QDOCC!

[Burningman]

Lusi Cab just arrived! They smell great.

[RedLantern]

That is a sight!

[mprach024]

So jealous of these guys that scored those 50 cabs.  I resisted and I regret it

[CigarZen]

A cab of 50 is an intoxicating thing of beauty.  Double Coronas especially

Huge mail call this week! There is absolutely not enough room in the wineador to accommodate all these (plus one last box of Bolivar RCs still en route), I need to c ome up with a storage solution quick...

Cooler and a couple of 320g bovedas, assuming you have somewhere with suitable temperature to store them. Very cheap and very quick.

Yea, that's what I was using prior to getting the wineador back in August. Unfortunately, my wife likes to keep the place warm and toasty so it's always sitting right around 75F-77F.
