Lol. I wrote to the company so they could give feedback to the band people. It is a nice cigar but I need to smoke another one or two, don't know how I feel about the flavor.
I wonder if Luis understands that their faulty application of that stupid "band" - I wouldn't even call that a band at that point - had caused damage to the wrapper. Or maybe he does and the price point of the cigar is such that he can't offer a replacement. Either way, I hope it performed well enough for you, Edward.
Ouch, hard fail, Edward. I'm guessing they don't get much repeat business.
Clocking this one just under the gate as a morning smoke after breakfast and taking care of pent up dirty dishes that had been building up for a few days, one of my favorite cigars, Pichardo Clasico Sumatra.

We regret that you are unhappy with the Agape ring band - our apologies.
Kind regards,

I bet you'd get more action if you posted that photo to social media on the maker's account, if the Twitter fail hasn't dismantled all of social media yet.

I don't want to hurt them, just wish they wanted to pursue the problem. With all the expertise and training that goes into making a good cigar to then failing to correct the easiest quality problem is self defeating.

Good morning everyone! Some kind of Viaje! Perhaps Edward, who provided it in his interloper package, could furnish that info?! As with most Viaje, it is excellent! @silvermouse

Winner of the ridiculously large band award.
But that is not all, with all that band they managed to do this:

Good thing those aren't expensive.

I offered to send a picture. They don't seem interested.

I sent Freud Cigar a private DM on Insta with the picture and "A friend had a band issue with the Agape, might want to check your QC on glue."
They replied "Hello - yes - we responded to his note on email.
We are set to receive samples within the next 4 weeks - delighted to send him (3) cigars"

Morning Charles, that is a Viaje The Geisha, I can't tell from the pic but I think it is the San Andres Maduro--I got a few of those and a few with Corojo 99 wrappers in a sampler and the wrappers are fairly similar-looking in color.

I'm starting the day with a Patoro Serie P corona.
And an excellent Fuente Don Carlos from @TheKraken in his lottery package! Thanks Taylor!
