i have a few left, but mostly let my roommate smoke them. He had one last night, and they are alot better with a year or so of age on them, but the freakin glue on the bands is ridiculous. You cant take the bands off without peeling half the wrapper off.
now if they only tasted anything close to what they are the alt for.
All I have to say is you do get what you pay for. Not that I havent paid for them myself

JR cigars seem to keep their smokes at a higher humidity than other places.
Just bought a box of Romeo Y Julieta cigars from JR. They are so wet! What should I do to salvage them? Put them in the humidor for a few months...or send them back for credit??
What I specifically mean: They seem wet. Hard to light. Harder to keep lit. And not an easy draw. They taste young...as like not aged enough.
And this is the 4th box I have bought of these cigars this year. But the newest box is full of overly humid cigars.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ron

If they're THAT wet, you might try dry boxing them; actually put them in a humidor with NO humidification for a few days. This should help dry them out. Then put them back in your regular humidor and let them sit for a month or so. I've had to do this on an occasion or two.

Tim,
Thanks for this advice. I have an extra humidor that I am not currently using. So I'll use it for this purpose.
I actually want to see if I can do this successfully. Since I previously bought 3 boxes, 1 at a time, from the same company, I am sure I could send the new WET ones back. Yet I want to try out your suggestion.
Thanks again!
Ron
