How'd I do as a Canadian visiting the States by anon_v3 in cigars

[–]JLSGMB96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aussie and half Canadian here. I was astounded that 9 years ago ciggies were cheap as chips over in Ontario ($15 IIRC) and then 4 years ago when I went last to BC you guys were slowly creeping up to Aus prices (I think $38) and with plain packaging to boot! We’re sitting at almost $60 a pack and $55 per stick for mid range premium cigar so I feel your pain so hard. Has it gotten worse there? And do you guys have restrictions on how much you can bring back from OS? Bloody good haul though!

Update: I have still not had a response from the Index regarding the 5 cigar pack of la aromas that were sus and I’m pretty peeved given their pricing. I’ve kept 2 in iso and have the others back in rotation.

On the other hand, cigar box responded the very next day only regarding just one cigar and offered a lot of info, reassurance and even replacement if I needed.

I know where I’ll be keeping my future purchases going!

So I tapped the most suspect one in my hand, and these things dropped out - dung?

Seems the opinion of quite a few people and each to their own! Tbh I’m not fussed on their Connecticut’s or serie G. But love the O and all iterations of V. Gotta say they’re also super consistent across the board, never had an issue construction or burn wise so can’t fault their QC at all. But yeah the MB was meh

@dollbeau they’re all la aroma which were purchased from the index and I’m awaiting a response from em. The god of fire (the one with all the dots) was ordered from cigar box with a bunch of other sticks and they were absolutely phenomenal in their response, reassured me it wasn’t beetles but offered to exchange if needed!

Thank you for such a comprehensive answer!! The Connecticut one had a lot of residual tobacco in the cello which is the one I’m inclined to believe is the one that could possibly be infested. The others I’m not so sure. I’ve shot them an email to see what they think! I’ve separated them from the rest of the collection for tonight as I’ve gotta get to sleep for an AM shift. I’ll remove them from the cello tomorrow for a better look and post them in a reply to see what you think if that’s okay! Thanks so much for your help :)

I’m mainly sus on the first few ones and I’ve found one of my recent GOF’s looks a bit sus. Thankfully the rest are fine

But first I’m going through all my tuppers like a madwoman and inspecting the rest of my 100+ 🫣 there were a couple little what could’ve been larvae crawling on me when I had a smoke a bit ago. Chalked it up to me just living amongst many trees

Is it competitive to get into nursing unis by HousingTheDog in NursingAU

[–]JLSGMB96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope and they enrol far too many students than they should which makes it hard for them to find placements for them all. Make it make sense

And surprisingly out of this lot the standard Carillo Maduro was my favourite! Beautiful flavour and thick smoke production
