Figured I would put in some input since I picked some of these PGR up from a LCDH...there was a partial box that I was going to buy from the shop and the glue/band job looked nearly identical to the cigars in question...I have seen MANY sloppy glue jobs on Cuban cigars over the years, these look beautiful compared to others I've seen. the only reason I would be upset about this is for construction purposes...when taking a poorly applied/glued band off the cigar it may tare the wrapper, other than that I think they are fine. If everything checks out in the code system then everything should be fine (very frustrating I know).

I mean c'mon! Its like people have never seen shitty Cuban glue jobs before...obviously we dont want to see them on a GR but it happens...like I stated before, if you were going to reband/reglue GR bands to a Lusi I would think you'd do a better job of it LOL plus, I doubt you'd have the same goma Cuban cigar factories use (which you can clearly see in the photos). I know the situation because I've seen Party GRs with the same crummy glue job.

I'm going to smoke one later this week. They have always tasted good to me.

If only you knew how wrong you are. I started smoking the box and they are really amazing.  [i][b]It's probably all jealousy, a lot of people probably wish they could afford  or smoke half the stuff I own at my age. [/b][/i]

Yes, that's it.  Everyone is envious of your CNA pay to afford such luxuries.

That still doesn't change the fact that I have no student loans. I may have said that but it was a joke. I know those are hard to understand over the Internet sometime.

In the end this pgr happened over a year ago. Have people been displeased with what I have sold since? No. Did I handle it right? No, I didn't. But if people think I am trying to deceive people with fakes they are sadly mistaken. I do not have a single negative feedback concerning the quality of my cigars besides this pgr fiasco. I should have given a refund right away, but saying they are fake based on a glue job it's insane. Plenty of Cubans have sloppy glue jobs.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

You've not had ANY OTHER ISSUES since then?  No other negative feedback?  No other issues?  No one else displeased?

This may require a follow-up thread in the BZ perhaps.

Not that I'm aware of.  Is there some issue that you know of that I dont?

Wow just read a bit of this thread for the first time....seriously mental stuff. Pretty sure I've made up my mind not that it matters one bit.

Smoked a PGR from the box last night.  It was fantastic... Thanks for sending them back to me!
