Spiders tried to eat my face.

all that said....that is awesome!

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!!!
