Re: Vacu Sealer - Use With Caution
I've only had one shipment sent to me vacuum sealed. All four wrappes were cracked. After recieving hundreds of cigars that were not vacuum sealed with no damage whatsoever, I really cannot see the need for more than good packaging with bubble wrap. At least your wrappers looked like they survived.

Hmmm... I just got a vacuum sealer - thanks for the heads up so that I know not to destroy cigars with it!

Re: Vacu Sealer - Use With Caution
I had a vendor send me a cab that had been sealed so tight the lid was severely bowed. When I cut the bag open it hissed for a looong time. There was some pretty serious damage to 6 sticks and some less severe damage on another 12. The vendor made good on them, but I think I will tell him to just seal them next time.

BTW Mark, I have the same sealer as you, but mine is white with a blue stripe

Re: Vacu Sealer - Use With Caution
Yup wish this was around about a week earlier. I hope the cigars I sent out last week made it ok. If not I will replace any bad ones or all. You know who you are. Just pm me if any things wrong.

Re: Vacu Sealer - Use With Caution
I wonder if you can bring them back around by storing them at a high humidity until they swell up and then slowly bring the humidity back to normal?

Another option, cut them into 1" sections and smoke them in a pipe

Re: Vacu Sealer - Use With Caution
Such sad pictures. I think we should have a moment of silence.

Re: Vacu Sealer - Use With Caution
Update some time after the fact - I made Darrel whole; he kindly sent me back the jerky sticks and they came back fine (puffed back put) after several months of rest.
I still have a couple of the M d' o #1s and they are fine. They smoked OK as well.
