I have been able to hold off, but only because of a terrible cold! Matt, I felt the same way- anxious to smoke one right away. I have been able to hold off, but only because of a terrible cold!

I took some pictures of them, but none of shots looked good enough to include with the review. (Besides, I wasn't really reviewing the supplemental packaging. LOL) I forgot about how hard it was to pry open the box. I kept worrying that I'd either split the box, or it would fly open and launch my cigars all over the floor. Take you time with it, and all will be well, that's my advice. These stogies have been waiting for some love for nearly 30 years, they can wait a few more minutes for you to open the box!

I there is any problems shoot me an email and I'll so I can so I can make it right. The first time I opened one these about 9-10 years ago I had the same thing happen with the rusty nail as you guys did. The best way I have found to open the box is to use a large flat head screwdriver. After cutting the seals/labels I start in the middle with the screwdriver prying as much as I can without going in too far, so I don't damage the cigars. Then I move to the side of the box and pry the rest of the way open. If you don't start in the middle you'll have good chance of breaking the top of the box. Enjoy your cigars I glad to see that the boxes are arriving in good condition. I there is any problems shoot me an email and I’ll so I can so I can make it right.

I had the same issue with the nail seeing how I have not checked back here since I have last posted. After I got the box open they all appear to be in excellent condition. After I checked out both rows my hands had a super thick covering of plum. Now I am torn, I really want to light one up right now and I know I will end up doing so even though I feel I should let these sit in my humidor for a while... any way I just wanted to post back and tell you that they arrived in very good condition :) I just recived my cigars a few min ago!
