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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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!!!
