Am I getting what I paid for?

Should have been top quality to begin with dude. Can't say much good about CI's quality of storage or shipping and handling policies though

[CgarDan]

I agree with Kevin and have a follow up question.

Is there some website or some oither source that has info (dates, etc) on all the major HERFS / Cigar conventions / Cigar shows ... you get the idea

Thanks in advance

Dan I belive JR cigars does some big ass party on a ship in dock every once in a while in NYC. Big times I heard .

Cigar Aficionado does the Big Smokes ,look on the CA site. Being in NYC you would think there is alawys some cigar stuff going on all the time

Agreed, which is why I was so suprised that I had issues with the wrappers. Both distributed directly from the manufacturer...so I really don't know if we can blame CI

[kevin7]

I quit buying from CIbecause every box was packed poorly and damaged sticks with no appearent signs of damage on the outside

[CgarDan]

Thanks Kevin

Will look into JR event

By the way Cigar magazine had an awesome HERF last fall in NJ I was there and enjoyed it a lot. By the looks of things they will have another one this year. Here is a link to it in case anyone is interested
