Freakin pissed!

I didnt have a chance all week to sit back with a smoke until last night. Broke out a Perdomo ESV 1991 for what figured to be a nice melow smoke. Started out a little rough but as the ample amount of smoke dumped out of this cigar I stated really enjoying it. It was dead silent outside and the dogs were walking around doing their thing and I hear a snap and crackle (similar to rice crispies) I figure it was one of the dogs steping on something...boy was I wrong. About half way thru the cigar, the wraper poped open and continued to rip its self apart. Dont get me wrong, I know these are all hand made so some level of human error is expected...but why tonight???? None of my other smokes that have had longer have ever done this so I know it isnt a humdification problem. I just wanted to know if Perdomos have a problem with that? Any thoughts would help...Thanks fellas.

Man, that stinks. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

That does suck tx. However usually a cigar busting open like that is a storge problem not a manufacturer problem. Typically its a sign of over humidification.

Perdomos ESPECIALLY the ESV are typically well made. I go through a few of the segundos and have never had a burn problem.

i hear that this can especially be a problem when its cold outside. big temp variances will supposedly do that

This is what happened to me w/ a man o war. It was great smoke till about half way down then came apart, but then again...it was 15 degrees outside.

I've had some of the ESV Cameroon (maestro) tubos and loved them. No problems, great flavors, etc. Then I picked up one of the ESV connies from a local cigar bar (they keep their stuff at a pretty level 68-70 and I've never had problems with anything else from their humi) and same thing happened. That connie wrapper just seemed thin and fragile. Ended up splitting so much, I tossed it half way through. Sorry to hear you had the same experience.

The one connie I have had thus far was a Nub Conneticut and it was very tasty but about halfway through I walked away to go to the rest room and when i got back the first draw split right down the middle... My buddy was smoking a Verdadero Organic at the same time and the same thing happened to him to the point of the whole wrapper falling off! I kinda lost faith in Conneticut wrappers after that... besides I prefer a stong Man O War style cigar.

I have yet to have that happen - knowing my luck it would happen on a night such as the one you just described. I feel your pain sir.

I have been smoking and enjoying Perdomo's for about 12 years. They are well made. I had the same problem on super Sunday with a My Father. Hand Made means every one is different. Fortunately, it is a rare occurance.
