Plugged cigars

Big Maduro · 08-27-2014, 10:38 PM

I haven't been smoking a lot because of some money issues. So granted I've had some cheapies lately. But it seems this year, I've had more than my share of plugged smokes. Not all that I would consider cheap either. Like LA Gloria Cubanna, Perdomo, Man O War. Has any one else experienced this?

storage?

Big Maduro · 08-27-2014, 10:57 PM

Thought about that. The humi is good. Lol most don't get stored too long. The come from a mix of online stores and a B&M. I havnt kept count but I'll bet 10% were tossed.

Might be worth it to get a cheap draw tool, seems it will pay for itself in no time.

Big Maduro · 08-27-2014, 11:06 PM

Yeah, I have managed to open a couple with s wire. Just weird man. Started thinking there is a bunch of rookie rollers coming on the scene.

You may not be letting them rest long enough if they're coming in too wet

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the sticks I get from CI/C-Bid come in way too wet for me to smoke ROTT. I'm actually yet to have a plugged smoke this year (knock on wood) but I'm sure it'll happen before too long. Most of the cheap ones I've smoked lately have had way too loose of draws, lol.

eBay - $10. Doubles as a roach clip of sorts for smoking the nub when you won't put it down!

I use 15 inch section of wire clothes hanger.

CigarNut · 08-28-2014, 07:44 AM

I use a 1/16" x 6" drill bit.

That's what I was thinking too.

That makes sense. I'll try to leave em alone when I get some.
