These are hand-blown so there will be some with small bubbles, that's just part of the process. If it's really bad, shoot us a message with some photos and we'll have a look.

I’ll take some pictures of the bubbles to show what I got especially since I’ve gotten a decent sample size, 8 glasses. They are dope though, I’ve wanted BR glasses forever.

Received mine today mate and they are absolutely terrific - no bubbles in sight. The glasses are a tad bit taller than my original Cibi's which doesn't bother me in the least. Other than that (and with the inclusion of your logo which has been tasteful done), they are about as close to being the real-deal as you could possibly get.
Another home run from Magnoli.
Very happy!

The height is not an accident... apparently the vintage ones were a bit taller that the more recent iterations. 
LOVE that illustration!

Compared to the original Cibi's I own, Magnoli's glass thickness is very close.
The originals have slightly more heft.
Looking at the two together you wouldn't think there was any difference

Here is the rundown of what I got in my 8 glass purchase.
On the first set 3/4 have bubbles in the sides, 2 of the bubbles can be physically felt if you run your finger over them.
1st
3rd
4th
And the second set also 3/4 cups have bubbles on the sides.
First
Third with two bubbles near each other.
Fourth with two bubbles but opposite sides
I’m not complaining, I understand that it’s a hand blown product and these are just artifacts of the process. I do hope you consider doing the 2019 Johnnie walker bottle. You could definitely count me in for multiple. Also I assume you made custom cardboard boxes for the 2pack, like the 4pack. Would I be able to purchase a spare box and foam or 2 so I could gift some of the glasses I already purchased?

We don't have any spare boxes or foam... you might just have to cut the foam down to smaller blocks as needed. Sorry!
No worries, appreciate the response.

FWIW, I'm in the same boat and my 'bubbles' can be physically felt as well. I was disheartened by the first 4 that I put them back in the box and didn't even open the 2nd set of 4 to look, but maybe I will check them out since other are reporting 'no bubbles' in theirs. It is what it is, I guess.

Got my set of 4! One completely without bubbles, two with a single small bubble, and one with 2 small bubbles (I was actually expecting far larger bubbles, being hand blown). I am so happy with them! Time to go look out moodily over a balcony!

Each one of mine has a tiny pin prick bubble, hardly noticeable. Not bothered by it in the slightest bit. Especially considering the next best thing is double the cost. I was a bit worried how things would fair coming from half way across the world but i guess my fears were unfounded, the packaging is spectacular, its almost too nice not to keep.

Received my set of four today - am very happy, they feel great and look lovely.
Out of all four glasses, I have a total of two very small dust inclusions and one very small bubble, so I can overlook those and be thoroughly satisfied. If I had paid Cibi prices I'd feel otherwise but I bought these for occasional use as well as collectibility so I'm very pleased.
Thank you for making these.

Don't forget... you can write a review on the Magnoli Props and/or Magnoli Clothiers websites which puts you into our monthly drawing for a $50 store voucher (that would almost get you another set of 2 glasses!).
