My Cuban Crafter's April Fool's Joke

[jaycarla]

My first humi was great. 1 for 1, don't think I will push my luck with them though.

Too bad Scott, you are taking it in stride though, no other way to do it really. What's done is done, CC may still fix it. I would hope.

Dude, that sucks! I don't know if I'm more amazed at how poorly those things are put together, or how well you're handling it. I would be down someones throught

[drhalle]

You have the right attitude, I just hope things work out for you.
My experience with CC was upsetting as I'd never had my credit cards compromised. I placed an order with CC at 5:34am and my credit card numbers were used in Germany to buy tecno music within 20 minutes. Never happened before or since. (crossed fingers)

I am still sorting out the fallout from this and it happened last December.

By the way, it's nice to hear your wife took this in stride also. Mine may not have been so understanding of my hobby. Not that she hates it so much as she doesn't want anyone to take my money for nothing or see me disappointed in my toys.

Anyway, sorry my friend, hope you get it all straightened out.

I had my credit card number stolen once when I ordered car parts from a place in Florida. A bunch of ***** phone calls were made on it. The wife freaked cause I was a perv, the only thing that saved me is the calls were made from Kentucky.
I no longer have that wife.
My current girlfriend is Kerri. I truly believe she's my gift for putting up with the last one for 13 years.
Kerri and I have lived together for a year and a half and have never had a fight. We see eye to eye on everything, have the same interests and the same ideas about raising kids, how to handle the relationship, everything.
She was just as entertained with these humi's as I was. It really was humorous. We laughed and joked through the whole thing.
Probably because it was SO bad, it's almost surreal.

Wow, all I can keep thinking is..."GOT GLUE?" Sorry to hear about this...at least you were able to laugh about it and take it in stride.

Yup, this is how my hinges looked on my CC humi... They ripped out of the wood when I went to press the hygrometer into its spot. I spent some time putting in better screws, and it seems to be working well... But thats not something I should have to do. I won't be buying from CC again..

Wow...Unreal...Hang in there shilala. Your a better man than me.

My Italian temper would have me

Totally uncool....Ill never do business with CC.

That is crazy, I've bought a CC humidor a couple years ago and it has worked great. I guess they have just given up on QC. I definitely won't be recommending them anymore.

Well that's a bummer Scott! Hope CC gets it fixed for ya. The most shocking thing, to me, is that you bought humidors! I would have figured that you would build a few dozen from scratch in an afternoon as a fun little side project!!

Alas, no workshop.
Ultimately I will build showcase humi's the way I want.
My plan was to tear the guts out of these and build new insides so I could display cigars the way I want. I was also going to add a fan, lights, a hydra and beads.
I really can't do anything till I get this all ironed out.

I just called Cuban Crafters.
I asked to speak to Joanna, who Rob asked me to speak to.
She's unavailable. As it turns out they are in the process of moving. That's why the phones are as they are. She said they only have one phone right now.
The lady on the phone said she'd pass the note to Joanna to call me and that she might get back to me today, but if not today, tomorrow. As it turns out, this is Joanna's department and she's the only one who can take care of it.
I will give 2:1 odds that I receive no phone call until I call them back two days from now.
Any takers?
Don't be afraid.

Did you mention that a few thousand hardcore cigar smokers are watching their performance on this one?

Might give 'em reason to pause and reflect.

I was gonna put your smokes in there first.
The change in attitude that your cigars affected in me is exactly why this hasn't pissed me off. See how much highway a guy can get out of a good deed?
Had this happened a few days ago I'd probably be in a jail in Miami.
