i recently completed a trade,,, part of which i received 9 of 10 coffins containing the macanudo 1993 xx. they came in the original box as well. he kept them in a humidor, out of the coffins. put them back into the coffins when he shipped them.
the cigars look good enough.... the bands do not (every one!). almost as if they had been wet sometime in their lives.... the filagree on the bands seemed to be flaking off though no flakes were noticed. the bands were slightly discolored/'blotched' around the edge. they are fastened quite well to the sticks, so i don't think they're an add-on.
haven't tried one yet,,, just curious what would cause the this...??
tks in advance,
jeff
