    Default Weird colouration

    I went to smoke a Mc #4 the other day and I pulled it out of the tube and there's this green colouration on it. So I checked all my 'gars and couldn't find green on any others, but found this on a RyJ #1. Any ideas?

    The pics are kind of fuzzy. It looks like it could be just uneven fermentation of the leaf.
    Have you ever thought about maybe turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids...and hitting them?

    The second is a sunspot caused by a raindrop on the leaf. The first is probably uneven fermentation / moisture during the curing process.
    Either way, I have come across many cigars with these kinds of marking in the past, and so far it has not caused a problem.
    I thought it was a tampon joke!

    It can happen during "curing". The brown leves are sewn together and hung over poles in a curing barn. It is here that they turn from brown to green but if the stitching is too tight or leaves stick together then the colour change doesn't happen at that point in the leaf.

    Doesn't affect flavour of the cigar so dont worry
