subiemech Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Now I heard these were great smokes. My first one out of the box was plugged to the point where I had to pitch it. Tried to massage it, tried to run a poker through it. Are others having this issue or was it a fluke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixa Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Not all tight draws are plugged cigars. Don't know you or where the cigars been. But high humidity in storage or where you are smoking can make a lovely cigar tighten right up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonowns Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'm not exaggerating when I say that out of the 2 boxes I've smoked I've never had a plugged or really right draw HURR. I vote fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbright Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I think it is a fluke as well. The ones that I have smoked have not had any draw issues. Hope your luck gets better with the rest of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I've had just a couple of tight ones out of around 30. A little fridge time helped to open them up - thanks for the tip, Rob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk05 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 edit: Haven't had a *phenomenal* one in years to be honest. The last great one was from SUB ABR12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGC Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 A plugged cigar out of Cuba you say??? I've never had a plugged cigar!!! If you have new boxes, always let them rest if you can. If you cut a plugged one, put it back in the humi and grab another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoreanCowboy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Had a box last year and no issues. Have more boxes on the way so I'll have to let you know once I dip into them. Although I have to think that with the amount they are putting out of these you'd expect to find a bad one every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lant63 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I had a box from h and f that was the worst box of cigars I have ever smoked. Horrid construction issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgravito Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Of the 2 boxes I've smoke through, had 1 plugged. Could just be bad luck. I'm sure the rest are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 30+ sticks into my first release boxes and not a single one with construction problems - I think you just had bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafLover Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 All HU RR have been rolled well from my experience. Most likely bad luck in your end. Hopefully it's the first and last out of your box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC4 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I've gone through 2.5 boxes and none were tight or plugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhenry Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 If I get a pluged cigar I cut it in half ,you have two small cigars and 9 out of 10 times both will smoke well. To me it's better than pitching it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
