lets just hope it wasn't from a bathroom break... we all know about the shortage of real tissue paper....

What you pulled out looks like the start of a really bad Cohiba fake

[ChrisMClark]

Oooooh. For a moment there I was thinking it might have been the Golden Ticket for a trip round the factory

[satch]

Hurrah! A happy ending. I thhink I'm filling up.

[larrysputnik]

Good. Burn the evidence, as I always say.

I was a little uneasy about smoking this baby as I've never had a cigar with personality before. I felt a bit like Hannibal Lecter, having an old friend for dinner. So with great trepidation and not a little emotion, I touched the flame to its slightly imperfect flesh, drew the smoke in and guess what?............................................. ..delicious, just like it's 24 recently departed siblings!!

P.s. on the off chance that you were asking about the piece of paper, I fired that up too and it tasted like shit

[larrysputnik]

So how was it?

[macker89]

Ok, for those that care, the novelty value wore off and in the absence of tweezers I took a pair of cuticle scissors(apparently?) and slowly pried out the offending item without creating too much of a mess. The cigar has since gone to the great ashtray in the sky

Are there collectors in Hong Kong who would pay you a premium because it's so rare?

Maybe I should put it up for auction, lol.

[stephan]

That's certainly unique; where was the quality control person on the day that was rolled?

I know what you mean CJ, I put it to one side a few months ago and am kinda attached to it because of its unique character and imperfection.

As for returning it, the other 24 in the box were absolutely delicious so that would seem churlish

The tweezers sound like the most humane choice but I might just be too emotionally involved now

[akreissl]

Tweezer time I say, but you'll have to be careful that you dont pull most of the filler out with it.

Yeah, if you have bought that locally take it back. (Try get something more for compensation!!!!). And if you didn't, or bought it ages ago use tweezers on it. None of the other options are clever. I'm sure you won't have to chop it up to take it out but if the tweezers don't work I would chop into it.

If you bought it locally take it back and complain, or send it back and complain, you never know, for your complaint you may get more than one in return!
