Geneva Duty Free

A friend of mine was passing through Geneva yesterday. The selection was very reasonable.

That box of 25 Lusitania for 932 CHFs is a pretty decent find

Much better than last summer when I was there. Quite decent

Best duty free selection there I've seen for a long time ....

Did he pick you up any Neil?

Yes Simon. A box of 10 Petit Edmundos.

Just been through the same shop, a lot less now! Those luisitanias are all gone unfortunately

My friend took two lusitanias (amongst other cubans) to Italy to smoke with his dad & one of them was plugged & unsmokable. No draw tool either 🤯😢

That's a nightmare. A premium smoke too. Always the problem with Cubans.

Every time I go abroad and I take stuff with me, I always punch them first to check the draw and even then I make sure I have my PerfecDraw with me

Didn't think to cut them first, great tip 👌🏼

Yea, that really blows. It'll happen to every CC smoker, and at the worst of times too.

Checking the draw before lighting is a great tip, though. Generally cigars will want to swell slightly when lit and puffed on, so it's best to do any poking around pre-light

Also, it's good to gently feel your way up and down the stick to try and check which part is likely causing the restricted draw. If it feels overpacked towards the foot the draw will usually improve once you get going, whereas a hard tip (giggity) will only get worse as the smoke starts to flow, and must be sorted ASAP IMO

I find most plugs are around the band area, easily reached by The Perfect Draw or similar device but still annoying,
