I disagree, I can remember buying a couple boxes of Padron Family Reserve 45's from Taboo that just REEKED of old stinky ashtray. It was frankly disgusting and definitely not acceptable any purchase, let alone cigars of that calibre and price. Luckily the shrink wrap and boxes absorbed most of the stench so the cigars themselves were mostly "unscented" (as it were) but I still had to air the boxes out for weeks before I could return the cigars into them and put the boxes in the humidor. That was the last time I bought from Taboo, any company that smokes so heavily around their product that it picks up an ashtray smell doesn't care about or for their product or customers.
