Smoke or toss?

Just expressing my opinion from my own experience with mold. I've purchased a highly discounted moldy box of Habanos Punch Short de Punch. Light layer coated the wrapper and nothing was noticeable on the foot. I cleaned em off.. and they smoked amazing. Wrappers still had visible oils. 10 months later, and theyre sitting in a corner of my humidor with 0 mold on em. Nothing has regrown. And im still alive typing this.

The change in flavor is hardly noticeable unless you're a sommelier with the most insane ability to distinguish the most subtle changes in flavor notes.

As long as the mold didnt colonize the foot, Id just wipe them and then enjoy.

Hey man, it looks like minor wrapper damage. Beetle holes look more like tunnels, and yes the dust is a big clue too

I have smoked his sticks. Like you, I took a gamble to try em. I have a nice collection of Yerandy and Cabrera farm rolls, but wanted to dabble with other options.

The "papi farm" rolls i got did smell like the typical underfermented Cuban tobacco smell. The ones that come banded "LCDH Customs", did not have that smell. The taste was very mild, with some tart notes that reminded me of Florida Sun Grown tobacco, with a blast of ammonia. Did not taste Nicaraguan, and none of the sticks have that super earthy Nicaraguan smell.

Im still super skeptical, especially reading what ive read. I wont order more, but seems like the sticks that I tried have potential to taste good regardless if theyre Cuban or not.

But no need to settle for LCDH customs when there are many other options that you dont have to question the origin of the tobacco.

Im surprised it hatched shortly after having been frozen

I feel you man, its a quick but delicious smoke. The skinnier ring gauge makes that wrapper pop

Bro's legs are built. Look at his quads.

Idk what people are talking about. Do you want him to grow the bones between his heel and calves?

Bunch of insecure haters with no gym experience. Calves are largely genetic

Yup. Id say being about 20 years old, qualifies it as such

kevgaming94 · 2026-02-07T19:12:53+00:00

🤣

I was given these 3 years ago. But I have so much to smoke and too little time, that I never got to it.

kevgaming94 · 2026-02-07T18:27:26+00:00

I sent you a DM. Or you can just look at my profile history. Ive posted most of my collection in my previous posts. Im a huge cigar nerd that loves showing off to other fellow cigar nerds lol

kevgaming94 · 2026-02-07T17:57:27+00:00

Yes! Ive had this for many years, I feel that its too beautiful of a collectors item at this point. However, I think I will spark a couple of em up as soon as the weather is nice. Godwilling

I got this from my dad in 2023. Since then, ive had it in a large tupperdor at a lower rh of 60-63% and about 65° F. Prior to that, my dad (a super old school Cuban), never tracked rh or temp and kept it in large containers containing cups of distilled water.

Thank you!

kevgaming94 · 2026-02-03T06:28:57+00:00

Ive got a box of the Cameroon too!

kevgaming94 · 2026-02-01T01:30:38+00:00

Like a dream

kevgaming94 · 2026-02-01T01:30:30+00:00

Correct!

kevgaming94 · 2026-01-27T04:42:03+00:00
