I've seen this on low-end sticks, and even some more expensive ones from provincial factories. Right now I'm looking at a box of Montecarlos with at LEAST 3 different RG evident. The question would probably be easier to answer with pictures, or at least more info re: vitola and packaging format.

Hey Hutch...

2010 CoRo from a 25cnt box.

They may just get smoked in the yard this weekend!

I have a box of LGC gloriosos, which isn't a low-end stick, and 2 of them were a significantly lower RG than the others. I think it's normal with temp changes. Did you just get the box?

Good points!

No, the 6 pack was from a while back.

That did crossed my mind so I gave them some rest.

My MAR 11 box of RASS had a couple (like 3) sticks pretty far off in terms of RG.  I realize the box press plays a factor, but some are just clearly off.

1 cigar in particular looked more like a RASCC than a RASS!  It was wedged between 2 sticks that looked slightly BIGGER than normal.  Almost like it got squashed between the 2.  But I smoked it this week, and I was surprised at how good it was.  Classic RASS/CC flavors.

I've had a box of Bolivar petite coronas with at least 3 different RG.  It almost looked like the picked different sticks to make them fit in the dress box like a puzzle. Like "oh that one is too small, this one too big, ah here we go!"
