PSA: Check your Crowned Heads Stash

[rodwha]

Thanks for the heads up!

[WNYTONY]

Now I see why @WNYTONY sent me all of those Crowned Heads sticks.

Oh I didn't send you ALL the Crowned Heads - I didn't realize you wanted all of them but I help you out there buddy.

Apparently a few people got a little upset that I posted this on a couple of forums, thinking that I was putting CH "on Blast". So to be clear, that was not the intention here, and I would personally appologize to Jon if it came off that way. Although most of the normal lines don't fit my tastes, I love Waltz, Rose, Paniolo, and Las Calaveras. Even if they promised beetles in every box, I'd still buy a lifetime supply of those and just freeze the bastards if I could afford it. Fact of the matter is, beetles happen in this hobby. Could be from the factory, could be from shipping, could just be the fact that a lot more people have CH stuff in the humidor so we're bound to see more issues like this than before. The purpose of this thread was to give my fellow BOTL/SOTL a heads up that at the moment, more people then usual were having issues with beetles so that they could freeze anything instead of risking it. I do apologize if anyone took it as me trying to talk bad about the company.

I see nothing wrong with how you approached it. I went and checked all of my CH stash to make sure I had no problems. You were just making people aware.

Keep on Keepin on!

I didn't take it that way at all. It kills me when people come drop a complaint about a vendor with their first post, and this is basically the exact opposite of that. You've been here from the start, you've always posted with good intentions (that I've seen, anyway), and you came this time with a smart warning to just check out our CH stuff.

We've all read about how quickly beetles can tear through a humidor, so with something like this there's no time to waste. I appreciate the warning, and even if someone else doesn't, clearly based on the letter above the ends have justified the means in this instance.

I saw nothing wrong with the way you let us know about the potential beetle problem. It didn't read to me as any type of slam towards Crowned Heads. Most of us have a sizable investment in our cigars with beetles being the single most devastating threat to our investment. So if there is a known potential problem it should be told so we can take precautions. You had our best interests at heart and those who have a problem with exposing a problem, well, I don't know what their motives might be.

I think it came across as a good PSA dont know why anyone would see it as anything more. I heard of this a few days ago and saw screen shot of a response from CH that I was able to verify and must say their customer service approach matched with the Waltz/Rose/Paniolo have wone my loyalty and support. I will repost the screen grab as soon as I can find it again.
