Bad Partigas

Bought a box of Partigas (red label, Robusto, about $80). TERRIBLE construction. Too tightly packed, even with 5 holes drilled thru, will not stay lit, uneven burn, just a mess. Gave up about 1/2 way through. HUGE disappointment. Is this a bad batch? After nice previous experiences now reluctant to ever buy again.

I am assuming by red label, you mean a non-cuban red label
Could be over humidification.
Could be just off the truck that has been traveling in high humid areas.
Could be a lot of things and you didn't indicate whether they were just bought, shipped or picked up at a B&M, what humidit you keep your cigars at or what.
All these have an impact.
In all the years, I can't ever recall getting a plugged non-cuban Partagas.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
A guy (Fred) gets fed up with modern society, and decides to become a monk. At the monastery, the head monk tells him the rules, one of which is it's a silent monastery, and you're only allowed 2 words every 5 years.
So five years go by, and Fred goes to the head monk and tells him, "Food bad." The head monk registers the comment, and Fred goes back to the silence.
After ten years, Fred uses his 2 words to tell the head monk, "Bed hard" and again, goes back to the silence.
At the fifteen year mark, Fred goes to the head monk and this time his 2 words are, "I quit". To which the head monk replies, "It doesn't surprise me. Ever since you got here, all you've done is complain."
Cuban Partagas are great and smoke like a freight train heading South.
BTW no seegar is perfect and u can always get a plugged one. Drilling all those bee holes will not help either. Poke it once and if it doesn't clear up it is a lost cause.
