Tight Draw

JJKJR · 08-27-2013, 07:41 AM

There are many cigar retailers in the Ybor City area. Walk up/down 7th Ave. and you'll see them all. I've probably bought cigars from all of them at some time.

However, the place I've gone back to several times is called King Corona Cigars; http://kingcoronacigars.com/ It's more than just a traditional cigar bar because it also has great food besides drinks and coffee. Sounds like I work there, but I don't. I usually get their Nicaraguan Suenos in a Toro with a Cafe Corona.

Hope the info helps.

Most definitely. Thanks!

The advice I received about the humidity being too high in my humidor was correct. I recalibrated my digital hydrometer which did not change. I read a post somewhere on this forum that talked about not completely charging their Heartfelt Beads which helped their humidity situation. So I let my Heartfelt Beads dry out a bit (last 3 weeks) which brought down the humidity and has seemed to help the draw. In the future I'll be not completely charging the beads. Thanks again!

The tobaccos tend to swell with the heat when it is too wet and closes in on itself, resulting in a tight draw.

Cincymike, another good point. I live in Florida. It's not unusual for the hydrometer to read 78 degrees in the mid-day heat. So I guess with the extra humidity and heat, the draw was effected.
