I just got a 5-pack of Decades and two of them were waaaay much lighter in color than the others... First inspection of the labels showed they were the same... I don't know about these lighter ones. I am thinking about smoking a darker/regular looking one and then smoking a lighter on the following day... Should I post photos. I am getting worried too... Maybe that's why the Decade got a new 88 rating from CA? They run out of wrapper leaf or changed with cheaper one... Idk... I hope at least the filler is the same...
Thanks Ren for bringing this topic back up----put some pics on here if you would, because I would love to get to the bottom of this and not think someone is sending fakes.
Guys! Seriously! Can we relax? Before this goes over to another dimension. This is pointless. However, finding the issue behind this cigar would be of use to ALL of us. It would be of use to C.COM itself as if they are getting "fake" decades from somebody, they gotta identify it. I will do a more thorough inspection of the lighter colored ones I have. I agree if color is the only thing off, I dont care. But if the band is fake or the taste is totally different, then there is something going on. Then again - it can just be a bad cigar or two. Like someone said - a second that slipped in. I doubt anybody will really be counterfeiting decades as well... In any case - I would ask you kindly to not argue. Sometimes we cannot express ourselves properly over these forums. Sometimes (some of us) we dont speak/write that well and words might have a different meaning than we intended to. Lets give each other a break right now and enjoy a cigar!
Laker, I dont think I...or anyone else here, thinks or wans you or anyone else to go away. No reason to pout, takea sabatical, or even put it out there. As far as my rep. around here----I have alrady gotten then rep. as a loud mouth who doesnt think before he speaks and has a few people who will have nothing to do with him (Kuzi, Puro, and The Steelers Guy to name a few).....I can deal with that, I bring it on myself. I also have a rep., as I know you do from reading the boards, of being a pretty good trader and someone to deal with----and that is truly what I try to focus on. I agree sticks can be a mistake, but the one I got was not a mistake. Pehaps word wise I should have been more specific than counterfeit, or even being done on purpose, but I maintain as RenMan said that finding what the deal is with these VERY different Decades would benefit everyone. Anyway, no hard feelings I hope...I wrote this here and not PM to show my hope to get over this publicly. To be totally honest, while I did say finger pointing I only did because it made me think of nuns----the part about Chirst and age of reason was a line I stole from a George Carlin bit, not something meant to offend. Sorry if taken as such. Hope everyone has a good weekend. And Go Bears!!!
