4 Willindon Blvd., Toronto... So my story begins as an American visiting my family at home for Canadian thanksgiving. I got in late last night and leave early Tuesday morning. While I was here today, I decided to swing by a cigar store near my family's house to pickup a Cuban or two. I went to a local shop called, "Cigar Studio". I walked in and the owner gave me the cold shoulder until I asked him a question, causing him to respond against his will. After a few minutes, I decided on grabbing a Montecristo No.4 and proceeded to check out. As I was walking to my car, I looked at the cigar and noticed some mold on the cap. I immediately turned around and walked straight back to the store. Since I knew this was a touchy subject, I waited until the store was empty to approach him and let him politely know that I wanted to exchange my cigar because I saw mold on the cap. In the kindest way possible, I explained to him my situation and he proceeded to tell me off with great statements such as... "I've been in business for 22 fucking years, you think I could pull that off with moldy cigars?!?!" or, "That's just plume buddy, I know what I'm fucking talking about, you'll find that on all Cuban cigars"... So, I left the store super upset that I paid full price for a moldy Cuban and then the owner didn't even have the decency to listen to what I was saying. 4 hours later, I decided I would light it up anyway(since it was an expensive Cuban and I couldn't let myself waste it). I cut the cap off... Mold all inside!!! I was so mad and couldn't help but think how many other customers got scammed in his 22 year reign! After seeing that mold, I knew there was no way I was smoking it... I then cut it in multiple dissections and just continually found more and more mold. Brothers and sisters of the leaf, please do not fall prey to this store and owner. All I wanted was a Cuban cigar to celebrate a holiday with my family, instead I got a wonderful bill and cussing out by a "great" cigar store owner. Sorry for the rant but I just couldn't hold my experience back with you guys.
