Disappointed

If there was a company I WOULDN'T write off based on a bad experience with one cigar, it'd be General Cigar. They're always so consistent and their stuff is very well made. A stinker from them is an oddity, for sure.
I do understand that it's a pisser to get a bad cigar after you paid good money for it, and that was a kickass rant, but don't screw yourself over just for spite. They won't feel it and you'll just get screwed worse by Gurkha and Rocky.

Someone should throw out the "cigars are a handmade product with inconsistencies" speech. Adam and Bob both do a good one. This is the perfect place for it.

I can't say I've ever been too impressed with the NC Montecristos. However like Icehog and everyone else has said. This stuff unfortunately happens from time to time. Maybe try other cigars for awhile and come back to a Monte sometime down the road. You'll most likely get one that won't leave you with a rant as good as this one.
