If ever I needed a draw poker it was yesterday. I had a stick that was seriously plugged. There was a knot under the band that the draw on the stick nearly impossible. I could have sucked that thing down my throat! I could have made some guy real happy. Just kidding, but it was in need of the...

I had the misfortune of trying to smoke a plugged cigar today. I was Sabor Cubano Grand Corona (7x50). I'm tried to salvage by cutting down the head of the cigar more and more, to no avail. It was so tight, I felt like I was sucking on a McD's milkshake. I had a bitter taste in my mouth now...

I received a cuban Cohiba cigar from a coworker about a month ago when he returned from Puerto Rico. I was hesitant from the get-go about the legitimacy of this cigar, but I put it in my humidor for a few weeks and smoked it today. I swear it was so plugged I couldn't draw one bit of air from...

i've had lots of plugged cubans lately. is this normal? do they loosen up somehow as they age or are cubans just sh*t torcedores

No matter what I invest in a stick I hate it when they are plugged. I understand it's a hand made item and one may occasionally run across this but some brand names seem to have more than others. Before I light a cigar, after the cut or punch, I always give it the pre light draw test and see...

A couple weeks ago I had a Sunday off, which is a rare occurrence, so I thought I'd have a nice cigar to relax with. I picked out a Taboo Limited Reserve Habana Robusto which is a very good cigar, but this one was plugged. Not to worry, I thought, I have a draw poker! Well, I poked her and...

Making my foray into cubans, and I have a few questions, and would like some suggestions. I'm pretty sure this Ramon Allones (I think it's the RASCC) is plugged. I'm going to nub it anyways, but is this common? The flavor from this thing is amazing. I would like to pick up a few more to try...

I lit up a 07 Anejo and was talking with Cigar Man Andy and noticed that my cheeks were hurting trying to draw on this thing. Now let me say, my humis are at 62-65 RH ALL the time as I carry mostly CCs in them at this point. It is smoking great now but this is the first Fuente product that I had...

I know several people who will not bother with a plugged cigar. They will toss it and get another one. Myself, I will try to poke it and get it to draw. My draw poker is a wire clothes hanger that i cut to about 10 inches. i then made a loop on one end big enough for my finger to fit in. I then...

Are you kidding me?!?! I tried and tried to fix it, but nothing! Woefully disappointed, but I hope mine was an anomaly. Had to put it out within... Read the full review here: Saint Luis Rey (Cuba) Churchill Cigar Review - Horribly Plugged!

I buy from a local B&M about once a week. Last Friday, I dropped $11 on a Liga Privada No. 9 that the owner has been hyping (ah, "plugging" :biggrin1:). After a four day trip, I came home really looking forward to it. The draw on it was so tight, it was barely smokable. All my other cigars are...

I HATE plugged sticks. I took this from a 71% humi and it was just too much RH! Next time I will dry box for 2-4 days. I have had this stick before and was quite pleased with the smoothness and flavors. I SCREWED UP tonight and smoked it too wet. I tried piercing it to not much avail. How...

My cigar is plugged, what do I do?

Any recomendations for one. I know there was a Henery tool but they dont seem to be around any more.

The subject of plugged cigars came up briefly in couple of other threads and it got me thinking, as I've thought before when I read these accounts... I must be truly blessed...which I know to be untrue right up front, since I'm passing kidney stones for the last two f(@#@ing weeks, and no one...

My current "special occasion" smokes are a box of Bolivar Coronas Extras from 1998. I took four along to a friend's going away party last weekend. He's moving from Houston up to Austin: great for him, sucks for me. The weather was great, mild and dry, the home brew was flowing. I took a cigar...

First off, let me say I love the Padron X000 series, and this experience will not change my mind. With all that I've smoked so far (and I smoke a lot of em), I'm almost amazed it hasn't happened before. This smoke was hard to snip. So hard, I had to check the blades on the Xikar. Predraw was...

First problem Padron I ever had, and I've smoked a bunch of 'em. This one was so hard to snip I had to check the blades on my Xikar. predraw was unbelieveably tight, so tight I had a hard time lighting it. No matter how much I rolled it and pinched it (had several hard spots), it wouldn't...

I've been pretty busy fulfilling orders for Henry's cigar tools, and most of what shows up in our P.O. box has to do with the orders. NOT so this morning! Jesto68 plugged up the P.O. box with a carefully-packaged duo -- Tatuaje and Torano. Thanks, bro! The Tat looks especially tasty, and I'm...
