I do not want to share the company that made this cigar and it may be rather damaging to their reputation and as well all know this is a natural product and sometimes things get missed during the rolling process, although I am a little surprised this spider nest was missed...

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Sorry about the defective cigar, but man, that is the BEST THREAD TITLE EEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRR RRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Spiders nest and enormous twigs... Can we PM you for the company? Those aren't exactly misses in my opinion.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

i would like to know what kind of cigar it was Can i PM you

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

I too am interested in what cigar this is, may I PM?

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

I knew that people would want to know who the manufacturer was, but I really do not want to harm their reputation as I see this as a one off bad stick and feel it is something that could really harm their business. I have sent them an email with the images and will let you know how they respond.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

well okay i hope they respond fairly

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Definitely a NC

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Wow...

That's about all I can say...

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Was there a spider in the nest?

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

That is crazy...and gross :td

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

pansies


:D

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

If they respond poorly or well let us know. Maybe you can hint the company as well afterwards?

It's your duty as a BOTL (did I really just say that?) lol!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

the spiders are a first for me. Interested to hear what the company has to say.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

The creepy thing is, if that nest wasn't at the head of the cigar where you clipped it, you probably woulda smoked that badboy up and probably wouldn't have noticed.

"Hellllllllp Meeeeeee!!"

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

If there was, he missed out on an excellent source of protein.

:2

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

There were a few dried eggs, but no spiders crawling out. I think I would have freaked right out.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

I agree and it is a hard decision not sharing the company right now, but I will definitely keep you up to date. If they respond poorly I will have no problem sharing, but my understanding of the firm right now is that they are stand up guys and produce a typically quality product.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Not the first time someone posted a spider web cigar. If it wasn't in the foot it would have been smoked. Who knows how much of whatever the heck we smoke all the time.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Hope is was wasn't anything expensive!!!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Yeah like a Tat:D

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Can I PM you for the company? Can you give me just a little hint? If I say pretty please with sugar on top? The company's initials? Can you PM me a picture of their logo? Will ya? Will ya? Will ya???



:lr

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Crazy right there.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Can we start guessing and you tell us if we are hot or cold???

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

freaking crazy!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Probably a Gurkha. Adds flavor!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Nothing a little raid can't fix. Tell them you deserve a box for compensation!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Tell them that your scared and they may give you two boxes!!!!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Looks kinda like a Viaje TNT :sh

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Spider, spider, in my cigar
for you I never wished upon a star
My stogie cost me mucho dinero
You hijo de injeñero!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Hey maybe you can write hallmark cards. LOL

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

i think the brand of the cigar is irrelevant.

This more than likely happened well after it was rolled.

it could have happened in the aging room, in transport, at the retailer, or even ones own house.

all that said....that is awesome!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

:tpd:

Barring the unlikely possibility of a visually-impaired torcedor, I can't imagine this making it off the table.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

You think a spider could have crawled all the way up to the cap in a rolled cigar?
:confused:

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Don't talk mean about Juan, now!

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

The spider nests, maybe. However, how would twigs make it in after it was rolled? I think the twigs are the bigger issue...

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

As a quaker, I believe that this is clearly the work of witchcraft.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

That's what I thought, too, Sam. Then I considered it was under the cap. It must have come in on the leaf.
Regardless, it's real easy to imagine a spider nest being on a piece of tobacco that was aged in a barn in the tropics and it being missed.
I understand why it could be a bit put-offish, but the company has nothing to do with it. Cigars are a natural product. Odd things are going to get in there. A roller certainly can't catch everything, it's humanly impossible.
What's amazing is that it doesn't happen all the time, as in I've never had a spider web in my cigar.
Personally I'd pull out what I could and smoke it, because I can easily imagine all the other crap I've already smoked that was rolled up in my cigars. It doesn't bother me in the least.
Kudos to you Mychal for keeping a lid on the brand. If guys can't handle the thought of sticks, rocks, twigs, spider webs, gecko turds, and other crap in their cigars, it might be time to reconsider hobbies.
Barbie dolls are fun!!! :tu

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

At least they finally put some thought in to what's in there cigars.:r

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Ive pulled some strange things outer my sticks but spiders are a first

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

:td

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

You think a roller could have rolled up a nest of eggs without noticing it?:confused:

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Just seems like it would have to be a pretty darn small spider. Even then it seeme like a tight crawl.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

I smoked a "Spirit of Cuba" cigar yesterday that had the same type of thing. I cut the cap with a V cutter and pulled out a bit of what I thought looked like cotton. I wonder if it was a spider nest also or maybe it was just some cotton that somehow got rolled up in it. Anyway, I smoked it. Didn't like the cigar at all.

Re: Spiders tried to eat my face.
 

Its possible. If the roller was not the one who destemmed the leaf, they could have easily just picked it up from a pile and bunched it with other leaves without noticing. If they were responsible for destemming that particular leaf as well as rolling its less likely for it to have gone unnoticed, but still possible. Easiest way to destem is to fold in half and pull the stem out, if the web was on the inside of the folded leaf it could go unnoticed fairly easily. These are handmade products made by people on somewhat of a schedule. Hence why we end up with a plugged cigar every so often.
