Having smoked and enjoyed one or two of this brands Robusto, I bought a bundle of twenty five. A goodly number of them, more than ten were, so badly constructed as to be totally impossible to smoke. They were packed with stalks and something odd that looked like a pale, squashed snake. I told C.Gars about them, realising it was not their fault but asking if they would pass my complaint to the manufacturer. That must have fallen down a deep well because I heard nothing about these cigars. If these are going to be as badly made in the future, I would never, ever buy any again.
