[beyond the band]

Done helping kids with homework, fixed dinner, did the dishes, got everyone all tucked in bed.

A little charcoaled up eh. Next time you notice that happening purge the cigar by holding a flame up to it and blowing out hard. It will look like a blow torch but some of the crap will blow out of it and it will smoke better.

I will try that.
What about the cracking and peeling?

When this happens it is usually due to smoking a little too fast or the cigar could have started drawing a little too hard. The wrapper gets hot and will start to crack around the area where the plug or build up of tar has caused an issue with the flow of smoke.

Makes sense.
Was a little stressed today. Maybe I was a little anxious to get into that Romeo. I bought 2 of tham today at a new B&M.
I was thinking it might have been a little dry.
I lit a Partigas Black that was in my humi. I am real anal (Im sure that wil bring a comment from one of the wise guys) :sign: About the RH of tmy humi..

anyway it smoked great.
Thanks for the advice
