Popular Post GVan Posted October 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2020 JL1's (AMP DIC-19) - I have no clue what AMP is ??? Never seen that code before. These definitely have more of a "rustic look" than the UTL and EOS codes I have in the other 3 - 2019 boxes. They have almost a rough, orange and brown color to the wrappers. It will be interesting to compare the tastes of the different boxes. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, seen it a few times happen in dress boxes, but it needs a serious overdoing to provoke it in a winney’s box. Even when specifically asking for shipping non-vacuumized, some staff seem to act like - well, I got the power, let me see what I can do for you ... ?

havanaclub Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 This looks like a shipment issue. Box has likely been squeezed. Also, as only the central section appears to be affected. Did they perhaps come heavily vacuumized? Been in transit for an extended period? Edit: Check for wrapper defects and consider returning.I was going to say this too, but thought man you would need some serious vacuuming to bend the sw box, unlike a dress box. And I agree with@FUGU I would send them back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot that in my warehouse under the sky light on a sunny day but that’s Still not a lot of ambient light for that. With that being said I have seen most of the Short du Punch posted on 24:24 definitely of the darker wrapper variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They smell amazing, but notices a square look to them. Is this normal for a cigar of this caliber? It's shipment issue, low air pressure. it was in March 2017 I bought 2 boxes of RA Robustos XXL from Brussels, I put most of my cigars in cabin luggage, only this one with me as hand luggage, after 13 hours they became box pressed Habanos. I have 6 boxes and 2 left, this box pressed XXL is by far the best ?. 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to travel for a living and had my tool cases so compressed from pressure change when landing I would need a screwdriver to pry open the cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Construction was good too, densely packed but perfect draw. My first box of LFDC but won't be my last.

Like a Hoyo with a little more kick and definitely mixed roasted nuts (same descriptor I used) addition that isn’t typically found on a Hoyo. Certainly not too young to be enjoyed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
