So I went ahead and scooped up an "Imperfect/Nicks/Scratches Humi this week. I recieved it in today and WOW what a total let down. I knew there could be an ingraving on the glass which there was (Close to my wife's initials so not a prob at all). But the let down is that the Hygrometer was totally broken..... All the guts smashed out, There is a good SMASHED in corner, and the top piece of wood that hold the glass down is lifted slightly. Now....... I massaged the corner down so it looks good and pushed the top down a little better. I will need to buy a hygro (dont even think about it :) ) which sort of sucks but other then that I THINK its live-able. Would you guys just say eff it and keep it (IF... Big IF it holds humidity) or would you call/return it?

Thanks for reading.... It just sucks because I want to start on seasoning it but will need to hold off till monday. What a total let down.

    Imo those analog hygro are useless anyways. As long as it seals the hole then you're ok.

    I'd say return it - imperfects are cheaper because there's a cosmetic imperfection in the wood, or a small dent in some small corner that doesn't affect the humi. It DOESN'T mean the hygro is smashed or there's a smashed corner - that's not an imperfect, that's a POS that needs to be thrown out.

    I would guess from a long conversation that I had with the people at that site before I ordered that the break happened in shipping, and is not the imperfection. I would call. The important quote from the site is "Nothing at all that compromises the humidors ability to perform correctly. This is just cosmetic damage."

    Yeah, I'd send that back. My wife bought me a blem humidor a few years ago, and I'm still not sure what they considered to be a blemish. The only thing I can find wrong with it is a tool mark on the Spanish cedar lining, which is barely noticeable only if the humidor is open and empty.

    Yup!
    Explain to them that you talked to the guys on the "Cigar forum" that you are a member of and they said to give them a chance to make it right, before all of them boycott their company.

    That usually will get them to sit up and take notice. And if it doesn't, I have no problem adding them to my "DO NOT do business with" list.

    Glad they replaced it for you....

    sounds like the same experience I had with a retailer that offered "cheap"er cigar related items. Just helps put into perspective how good CCOM's customer service is, doesn't it?

    * I have a new address as of 3/24/18 *
