Man, I'm just finishing a box of 24 Box Press Torpedoes & most of them are canoe jobs. I mean, it seems there's roots, branches & whatever packed on one side of them. I was offered a rebate on them after a half dozen, but I just couldn't believe that 3/4 of a box of not so cheap cigars were unsmokeable. The ones that burned correctly were pretty close to heaven, though.
That has been my experience with My Father as well. Their quality control is very sub-par. The tobacco they use is very good though.
I probably wouldn't ever have if I didn't receive an excellent one in a bonus sampler. I waited about a year until they were on sale to buy a box. Maybe that was my mistake.
I get the occasional wonky burn, but I've never had a MF canoe on me, that sucks.
Your posts always make me extremely jealous and eager to try more Cuban cigars. The LCdH here in Tijuana has a very good selection, of course, and is plenty nice, but their hours are wack. They close at 7 pm, and aren't open on Sundays at all. If anyone knows any other good spots for Habanos in Tijuana, Rosarito, Tecate, Ensenada, etc., let me know. Nothing else listed on the HSA website. Yeah, I know I can buy online, but I am more of a mix and match guy these days.
