Hey I just received my box of Bolivar Royal Coronas yesterday. I am new to the whole cigar smoking and ordering and storing cigars at the right humidity. But my question for right now is where do i find out the date my box of cigars was made and how long they have been in a humidifier. Also there is one cigar in the whole box where at the foot of the cigar a 1 inch peice has flaked off is this normal or bad.

this is definatly bad. just send the box to me and ill take a look at the rest of them for you. if i find them to be no good , i will dispose of them properly. my email is in my profile.

Haha yeah i guess i'll get right on that. You dont know about cigar dates and things do you?

There should be a box code on the bottom on the box. As far asthe damged cigar, it was probably just damaged in shipping or something.

Post some pictures of both the box and the cigars would make this a whole lot easier.

box code is at the bottom of the box in 2 parts.. it will say something like POS NOV06 (which means it was rolled at factory coded POS on Nov 2 2006). now don't ask about factory codes, because the cubans change those faster than they change underwear...

as for the flaked tabacco, it is nothing.. just transport damage. it will not be noticibale when smoking


enjoy your BRC... they are very good cigars

This may be literally true.

I have to say it is more then "may". I think the burden of proof is on the underwear at this time?
