My Father Limited Warning.

Yes, if they smell, DON'T put them in your humidor/tupperdor! The smell will premeate things.

I had this same thing happen with a box of Camacho Liberty--box, lid, and coffins all smelled sharply. After letting the box set for a while, it seems to smell of nothing but lovely cedar now

:bigeyes: And guess who's having a panic attack right now? Can't wait to get back to the dorm to check on this!

Justin good catch. I too must have been lucky. After reading your post and my heart rate excellerated the wife said she hasn't seen me move that fast in years when I flew down to the basement to check the cigars.

When I checked my box (inside outside) each coffin (inside outside) and cigars, all I got was a cedar smell.

Left the wife and mother-in-law check and they both only smelled cedar.

Sorry to hear about yours and a couple others and hope that all turns out well for you.

Box # 391

Good to know Larry but I would open a coffin and give a snif as well.:thumbsup:

Justin, thanks for the additional headsup, I did the same thing Earl (GreyGhost) did and even had the wife smell each individual coffin and nothing but the wonderful smell of cedar.

I have box #71

The flavors were very muted and one-dimensional. I thought that it should have some more strength or change up the flavor because of how big the darn thing is. Also, $18 is a bit pricey. Of course, there were stems in them. I have noticed that a lot lately with Tatuaje and DPG cigars.

If you want, let me know and I will post the pic of the Tatuaje HCS that had 3 huge stems in it. I have been told that the stems are normal, but these were huge.

I was smoking a Liga Privada No.9 Belicoso a few months ago and it was horrible! No flavor other than a disgusting bitterness. I decided to put it out and unwrap the cigar, and sure enough, a gigantic stem.
Even the topnotch smokes have a bad stick now and again, eh?

The B&M I run got in boxes 522, 523, and 524. I am so tempted to get all of them just because they are sequentially numbered.

Box #573. Smelled a lot of varnish/lacquer, inside the coffins the smell was stronger. The cigars themselves smelled fine. Took all the cigars out of the coffins.

Just don't get used to the smell... anyone care to post a pic for me to drool on?

Nope. Pete Johnson said that this is normal. I don't understand that because as soon as I pulled the stems out, the cigar was un-smokeable.

WOW, that is worse then mine...

How can you smoke a cigar with that many stems in it?

Normally I leave stems in because I don't want to mess with them, but the draw was tight. Of course after I removed the stem in the middle, I had to throw the cigar away because it was super hot and had no flavor :sadpace:

Edit: That picture is a Tatuaje HCS, not a MF LE

I may be oblivious when I'm smoking a cigar, but I've never found a stem like that in any cigar I've smoked. I guess there's a first time for everything though. I picked up 3 of these LE's yesterday. I only got the scent of cedar from the boxes...no varnish. I plan on smoking one today, so that I can finally have an opinion of these for myself. Seems like members are all over the place with these...but I'm learning to not gauge everything by what I read. :cbig:

 

[Nuckz23]

Wow, I have never seen any stems either. Anybody know where I can find some singles?

 

[Farani]

Wow, that is crazy. I guess the conclusion that I drew about the flavor being off due to the stem was due to some other factor then.

 

[klipsch]

Well I'm glad I sat down and smoked one of these for myself. I thought it was a great stick. Started out nice with pepper and spice and took on a sweetness about halfway in. If I could afford to...I'd like to grab a box, just to have enough to enjoy a few and have some left to put down for a while.
