"During the Cuban missile crisis, every time I saw [President Kennedy] on the second floor of the White House, he was smoking a Cuban cigar." - Arthur Goldberg, former Supreme Court Justice

QuoteDonM - 9/3/2010 1:10 PMWow, first I have heard of mold from Famous cigars!
QuoteJackal - 9/3/2010 3:52 PMI bought a box of CAO Visions from Famous Smoke Shop at a killer deal. When it arrived the sticks were as fuzzy a a 3 week old kitten.
Quotejunglepete - 9/3/2010 6:25 PMI'd like to see some pics or have they all been sent back?
QuoteROTHNH - 9/3/2010 2:27 PMWow. I assume you had to send all three boxes back at your own expense? While I certainly don't doubt that the cigars were moldy (it certainly wasn't plume), I can also understand Famous having a hard time with it, especially since the Vision box is actually a humidor... did you happen to notice the RH on the digital read-out on the boxes when you got them? With all three boxes having mold, that should have raised a red flag @ Famous... it would indeed be very interesting to find out more about their "problem" and what they're doing about it... I got the new Famous catalog today and they're offering the Visions (like you said) at a huge discount. I'm thinking the Vision cigars are so old at this point that there is some sort of failure in that high-tech box's systems...
QuoteDonM - 9/4/2010 5:46 AMI have got a fair amount of cigars from Famous lately and never had any problems like this. In their defense, it sounds more isolated to that particular brand and or boxed brand.
