Hey Ed, Here's a good read on wrappers and their flavors. IT's not a direct answer to your question, but worth reading, I think.

I was speaking with a local guy that manufactures a brand and he went into different rates of combustion between wrapper and filler tobacco, but I was too busy playing bones and smoking a cigar to fully pay attention. ![]() Does anyone have anymore insight into that maybe?

I hate to follow one of my own posts with another but I have a beginner question now. So I have quite a few torpedoes and similarly shaped cigars with a pointed cap. The problem I always run into is how much of the cap should I really be cutting off? I generally use a back stopped double blade cutter, not the Cuban Crafters Prefect Cut, but close in design. I just keep snipping until the draw feels comfortable. Any insight?

That is the best way to cut Torps and Belis IME. Cut the tip off, test the draw, cut more if you need higher flow. I usually test this after lighting. Once a cigar has burned a little bit, the draw tends to change as well.

I totally agree! I have notice that I have to snip as I smoke with these.

I use a V-cutter on torpedos and it almost always makes for a perfect draw.

You can also punch the side just a little back from the tip -- works surprisingly well.

I'm not saying that all of them are bad, for example there was a Montecristo Afrique glass-top sold by JR Cigars a number of years ago that was actually a really solid humidor. But, if you're going to get into an inexpensive glass top, be prepared for the fact that you might have to seal the glass up yourself. |

I have a glass top, and a solid wood top humi. The glass top resides in a closed drawer in my desk, so no harm no foul, the solid wood top sits out under my night stand. So it is exposed to light. I'd go with a solid wood top, less seams to potentially leak. With that said I haven't had an issue with my glass top leaking.
