Beetles?

are there any psychedilic sounds coming from the cigars, is either of them yellow?

If it is any help, I purchased a five pack of Nub cameroons recently. The fiver came in a cardboard box, probably not unlike the one you received, and inside the cellophane were many bits of tobacco. Mine had no holes, no evidence of infestation and smoked just fine. All of this leads me to believe that the Nub samplers just tend to get bits of tobacco knocked loose either in packing, shipping or both.

Thanks, jozer.. that was my expectation. Of course, the whole lot will live in quarantine for quite some time, but it's good to know you've had a similar experience. Same thing -- cardboard box with the sampler of Nubs. That's actually why it's most surprising that the makeup of the sampler was different from what was advertised.

You can always pop them in the freezer for a while, doody. Better safe than sorry.

I was just gonna send 'em around in the games.

The samplers of the nubs I got were also 2 of each. I don't know why all the sites advertise 1, 3 and 2 but they do. I also have little bits of tobacco in the cello. I have a little bit of a different problem with mine. The connies are not flat on the bottom. It looks like they were cut on an angle. That will definately affect smokeability but it's to late to send them back and I am lazy too.

I'll give 'em a run through the freezer. I've send plenty of loose tobacco bits sprinkled around in the cello of other cigars, but there just seemed to be a lot more in these, even compared to Nubs I've bought at the B&M. Jozer's probably right, but better to be safe.

I agree. After my experience with beetles, if I even THINK it looks like a beetle hole it goes through the freezer before it hits my humi.

Yeah, if you think you have Beatles, don't Monkee around. Infestations are for the Byrds, you'll want those suckers Gratefully Dead.

Its tiny, brown and flies. Thats about all I can tell you. It looks like a brown ladybug but not much bigger than a pinhead.

C.Com might still be offloading their old Nub samplers, I remember those having 2 of each, kinda glad they still have some, the Habanos aren't bad but I like the Connys more. I had the same experience with the blotchy wrappers, I'm hoping the last Conny I have doesnt have mold on it, and its just an imperfection on the leaf.

Did you contact cigar.com? Might be something to consider....

I had a Nub Conny yesterday and it was slightly angled as well. What's up with that?

How did it burn?

cheyman

It burned just fine, a nice even line all the way down.

Well then, I have nothing to worry about. It weird though. I've had them before and the were fine then I get two of the samplers and they are both like that.
