Along the lines of the "What was the last cigar you really enjoyed" thread:
After work today my wife and I had dinner down town. The weather here in Philly is unseasonably pleasant so after dinner I swung by Holts and picked up a couple of cigars. One was an Opus Petite Lancero. Now I have a few sleeping in the cooler, but I haven't actually smoked an Opus in years so I decided what the heck lets fire this bad boy up. It smelled great, but it was plugged tighter than...well tighter than something really darn tight. I could barely get any smoke through it at all. I kept at it, but in less than an inch the burn went to hell. I ran my makeshift draw tool through it but that was of little help. I could barely pass it half an inch into the cigar before it hit something solid and started to split the wrapper. I smoked about a third of the cigar before I had to give up. Damn shame.
