They don't inspect shit.  I'm now into the second 50 cab of RASS with abysmal construction.  You can see on the feet how poorly bunched these things are.  No one took them out to inspect - they said "Oh, pretty wrappers" and pulled the rating out of a hat.

Never again.

A lot of FOH boxes go through my hands... quality is no better or worse than COH or the other usual guys. Actually, worse lately. Lots of slight mold and clearly no inspection for wrapper cracks or underfilled sticks.

At FOH prices...if I get dried out sticks, I will be demanding a replacement ship at the 6-8 week mark. FOH doesn't package anything for a long sit at the PO (brown paper wrap and no Boveda pack). Rehumidifying dried out sticks does not replace their oils, no matter what anyone says.  Smoke cigars from 30+ years ago that were improperly stored...they are merely just wind tunnels.

But they will be extra special and well worth the wait and jacked up price since Rob personally inspected all of them

PSP mold is an extra 14%, but is on clearance on Monday's for only an extra 10%. Personally inspected plume.
