All the other ones I have tried have been great smokes for the price. You can either hit up cbid or do their regular singles selection thing now where you buy 4 or 5 and get one free.

I strongly recommend getting your hands on some of the Don Pepin (Black Label) Cuban Classic. They generally run about 6.50-6.99 for the robusto size. IMO....Great Smoke! The blue label is not too bad either...same price range.

Well I got a fiver of the CI Yellow Label Pepin cigars...and 4-out-of-5 are cracked & split at the head. Nothing else in the order (about 60 other cigars) was split, cracked, or faulty in any way.

<shrug>

I'm going to have to send them back to CI and hopefully get some more that aren't jacked up.

I got the Graycliff CI Legends in a fiver from Cigarbid and the two I have smoked had construction problems. The first one tunneled so badly I had to toss it. The second one had decent flavor but I had to correct the burn several times. Made me nervous to try the Pepin version.

Strange, all of the ones I got from CI directly have been perfect. I wonder if they are passing off some of their less than stellar ones on cbid.

I have never had a problem with sticks from CI or CB, nor have I had a problem with the Orange Label (Patel) Legend Series that I smoke. Maybe I have just been lucky...:thumbsup:

Either way they have great customer service online. You just tell them the issue and they send you a packing label to ship them back. Even if you smoke one and its bad they will replace a whole fiver in my experience.

I discovered this early on with CI. You can smoke one out of a box and if it doesnt measure up their description, send it back for a full refund.
