Damaged Cigars are a great value.
The most prevalent damage I have seen with these cigars is damage to the cap, which often results in the cap completely falling off the cigar and splitting in the wrapper (and occasionally the binder as well) lengthwise along the cigar. Usually though, after the cap falls off, the wrapper starts to unravel. While this is an inconvenience and can be a pain to deal with sometimes, it's really not that big of a deal. As cigar smokers, we see this from time-to-time even on premium "undamged" cigars.
I order 2 damaged cigars each month. Over the past year there has only been one cigar that I was not able to finish—but I was still able to smoke half of it.
Overall, these cigars are a great value. I typically smoke these when I'm on my fishing boat or doing yard work or farm chores. If something happens and I'm not able to finish the cigar, it's not a big deal. These are much better-tasting cigars than other cheap cigars I've purchased to smoke in these situations.
Overall, great value!
