Ever had a bad box?

Lockspur · 01-24-2013, 08:39 PM

I smoked a Padron 2000 Maduro at my B&M, fell in love and bought the last box they had. That was a month or so ago. I've only smoked three from the box, and they all were SUPER loose and tasted burned. I haven't had a chance to make it back to the B&M yet...will take a few with me for them to CSI...but has anyone ever had this happen to them? They look normal, feel normal...heck, even smell normal.

(edit)

I've double and triple-checked my humi and hygros. All the other sticks smoke fine.

So it DID work.

I'm going to take a couple in on Saturday to the B&M and see what they say.

First time I have ever heard of a bad box of Padron,in years of following forums.I don't doubt your findings,it's just unheard of in my experience.

I would ask for a replacement from your B&M,and let them pass the word to Padron.If they refuse,go straight to the local rep.

I am sure this kind of thing is very unusual for Padron,they will want to fix it asap......

Several. Worst ever was a box of '00 Hoyo Churchills, but there have been others. Most disappointing was a box of '04 BBFs, and some Party du Conns as well.

Barry (Bscottskangum) smoked a Padron 2000 Maduro last night and he said it tasted like straight a$$...he even had me try it to confirm.

Are you sure it came out the factory as a maduro?

If there is anything left after I am done, it's all yours. And I don't care if it tastes like broccoli.

Never from Padron. I agree with Tom. Give the shop a chance to fix it.

Sadden · 01-25-2013, 08:11 AM

How oldvis this box? Padron already uses old tobacco. If its an older box it might just be past its prime.

Contact your cigar vendor and see what they can do. Maybe they can send you another box and have them inspect them first. I generally want my cigars inspected before being shipped to me.

Most likely, the returned box does not affect their profits as they'll hand it back their distributor for replacement.

Fell in love with the 5 Vegas 'A' Alphas (Belicosos) and smoked 3 boxes in a row and they were fantastic. The last box I got in last spring sucked and they're not much better now.
