What I have here is a situation...
 

It's been years since I had a cigar blow up on me like this. Messy as eating a Whopper:) This will teach me to smoke a cigar right off the delivery truck. Before I lit it, it was a nice looking Berger & Argenti.

AAAAAAHHH......get that Fat Squirrel out from underneath that thing. You dont want to wast two great things at once!
Damn I wish I lived closer to New Glarus. I love me some Squirrel and Cow!
;s

I'm spoiled. New Glarus is my go to brewery. It's in every convenience store here. Even though it's out of season, I just had a six pack of Uff-Da bock. I love that beer.

I need to try more of what New glarus offers. I really like spotted Cow.

Could be worse -- at least most of the wrapper seems to be holding :)

Re: What I have here is a situation...
 

I have had a number of th B&As and have never seen that happen. And I also love some Fat Squirrel. I have a friend that brings me down a couple of cases when she comes to visit!!!

Re: What I have here is a situation...
 

I've heard of Fat Tire, but Fat Squirrel???? I'd like to get my hands on some of that. Maybe a trade is in order. PM me if you're interested.

Re: What I have here is a situation...
 

I finished it....well, as much as I could. It was very good actually despite what it looked like. I swear that even though it started out at a 60 ring gauge, it looks to be more like 80 now. Fat, messy, but good. I have a box, and if they're all like this, I'll need some sort of dribble ashtray to hang around my neck. Do they make anything like that?

Just smoke them outside.:r

What he said.

The Uff-Da is great.

I guess we'll have to get some different ones to bring up north in August - expand your horizons a bit. :r

LOL! You're such an enabler!

At least you got most of the way through before it exploded!

Re: What I have here is a situation...
 

What causes this? Are they too dry? Shipping damage?

Re: What I have here is a situation...
 

Gremlins.

Re: What I have here is a situation...
 

What a difference a day makes. I'm nearly done with the second cigar from the same box and it has been superb. No burn issues at all. And, the Fat Squirrel has been excellent too.

I had 2 Oliva V torpedos in a row from 2 different stores blow up on me.

Re: What I have here is a situation...
 

I spoke too soon. These things are blowing up like an agitated Lou Ferrigno. Did someone give them a sponge bath before they were sent to me? I have no choice now but to let them sit and hope for the best.

MMMmmmmm...Whoppers.

man it has been some time since I had a Whopper with Cheese. I think it's the kids that make em now.
No way I am eating the result of that labor force.

Re: What I have here is a situation...
 

According to my son and his friends, all the stoner kids work at Burger King and KFC.

I would have thought Taco Bell. :D

An unholy Cocktail.

Had an RP sun grown totally unravel the other night, seemed like it had one cap on it, and then the head started spiting, i wasnt even half way through, and the draw was terrible, put it down and grabbed a cain daytona, that was tremendous...

Re: What I have here is a situation...
 

I just finished the last of these. This has been the worst box of cigars I've ever smoked. Out of the 20, only 3 didn't blow up in my face. I love the taste and I'll probably buy another box. I refuse to believe that they're all like the box I just finished. I stored them perfectly and still it didn't matter. I'll just write this one off as being mishandled somewhere along the food chain. I don't ever like to diss a cigar or anyone that handled them, but these have it coming.

Sorry about your experience Larry, maybe you should write the manufacture and show them your pics and maybe even send them this thread....hey maybe they will send ya free box.
