How were they?

Warped I believe from @CgarDan. Thanks brother!

First stick from this 2016 box

How were they?

I thought they both were really enjoyable! My only critique was that the BLTC draw was a little loose. I would smoke them both again…

Wire coat hanger down the center. Be careful that it’s straight.

I'll keep that in mind next time I smoke one and see if I have a similar experience

T110 new release. Even a few months has done wonders on this little guy.

Great cigar! Try the Jerry Privon cigar. Use some of the same special tobacco.

I usually wait to about half an inch in.. sometimes just the act of starting it and lightly rolling it back and forth like you do during roasting can ameliorate the tightness. Especially with an ultra premium that shouldn't behave like this.

I then would try a carefully straightened paper clip... the bigger one, not sure if they have a name. Just have to guide it in very slowly... nothing worse than busting through a wrapper.

If that still doesn't help, lay it down. Life's too short to waste on wonky sticks.

Last night. Much wind. Not much fun.

Ended up being a plug halfway up. Will buy another. Certainly a possible box buy. Though for the price I could get 3* boxes of cheap partagas smokes. I've got tons of old chainsaw files. Might grind one of those down into a small point. The perfect draw at 40ish is super expensive for what it is.

Free draw tool and a favorito to keep it on topic

I’ve had a productive morning so far.
Hazelnut coffee, Partagas short, hot tub, Padron 1926 from @Brickhouse and a good book. Also have country style boneless ribs on

Ramon Bueso Genesis. Not complex, but nice and pleasant. For being inexpensive it is a heck of a stick. Thanks "mad bomber".
