Has Cuban cigar QC gotten noticeably worse lately?
Hey everyone!
Yesterday I saw this format for the first time — bought a pack with 3 tubos inside, for 110eur. Went out to the terrace in the evening to enjoy a cigar, and 2 out of the 3 were almost impossible to smoke because the draw was completely plugged.
I had to pull so hard that by the end of it my lips probably qualified for a gym membership.
Lately I’ve been noticing this kind of issue more and more with Cuban cigars. Maybe I’m imagining it, but years ago when I bought a box, maybe 10–15% would have serious construction problems. Based on my purchases over the last year — and I smoke cigars pretty regularly — it honestly feels closer to 25–30% now.
Curious if others are noticing the same thing lately, or if I’ve just been unusually unlucky.
