well, free is free. It will just be a pleasant surprise when it shows up

**stjohnroe** · 07-23-2007, 11:36 AM

The lord only knows when (and if) mine will turn up.

Okay, so I came home to a tiny little package from Cigar500.com this afternoon. My sample partagas serie D was absolutely crammed into a Davidoff box. The wrapper and binder were split all the way to the band.

I'm not really sure what I expected for a dollar, but this certainly doesn't encourage me to purchase from the company in the future.

I can't wait to see if anyone else has similar issues.

Bright side: a cuban for a buck.

Oh well,

Sean

Get creative and get some pectin and glue it back together!

I checked the site again today and my free cigar apparently shipped yesterday. I'll update y'all when it arrives.

I received my Cohiba Siglo II in a nice cohiba single box which was then wrapped in plastic. Upon inspection of the cigar I found that the cigar inside was without defect...actually it was quite beautiful. I was impressed. I am sorry to hear that others have not encountered a similar situation.

Got my Partagas Serie D #4 in a Davidoff box today. Perfect condition, gonna let it sit for a bit before I fire it up.

**ReV** · 07-26-2007, 10:23 PM

ooh, this is exciting... hope mine comes soon.

edit: woot, mine says: 07/24/2007 Shipped

Great minds think alike.....I just picked the zino myself and had no trouble with the order.

Well I did receive my Edmundo. I must say it looks great. No splits, tears or crunchiness. Although I will say it was slightly ovaled from being crammed into that Davidoff box.

So I take off early today and come home and there is a little package in my mailbox. I open it up and there is a little Cohiba Box. My Cohiba Robustos came in just fine. The band looks good, the construction looks excellent, and the size and ring match up to what it is supposed to be, but I don't really have the experience to tell the difference between the genuine article and a fake. I can't imagine this company doing much business if it is in the practice of selling fakes though.

Not bad for $1

if you want to find out if its fake, check the band... look at it very carefully.

**nhcigarfan** · 07-27-2007, 02:27 PM

I missed out on the robusto but have a sig II coming.

I checked the band against all the references I could find on real and fake ISOM's and if its a fake, its a damn good one.

I demand a five dollar finder's fee for everyone who received a cigar.

Ditto for me too! Though the box was wrapped in Saran-Wrap which seemed a bit unprofessional to me. It looked like a buddy set it to me.
