    Well actually in TJ's case we simply say "Don't fool yourself Coro, it's going right up the poop-chute."

    The Larry Method??? You must be joking, senor Spud.

    Why, I remember a time on this forum when you didn't know which end of a puro to light...and now you are naming puro enjoying techniques after yourself???


    Shame on you, man!

    Larry,the newer cigars,07 08 or 09s have been smoking brilliantly for me.
    Taste and construction.
    Of course everyone's taste is different

    I have seen more issues with CCs than NCs, to be sure. But the issues I have had have led me to make a few slight adjustments in my habit. For example, I rarely have a good experience with the burn on a CC right out of the box if the box is less than two years old. Therefore, I let them rest for at least 6 months (more if I can control myself) before pulling one out to smoke it. That allows the filler, binder and wrapper to further bond, which leads to a burn that is more even since the oils and moisture leach through and create a similar consistency. They all have to burn at relatively the same speed or else the wrapper or the filler will outrun its counterpart and cause an unpleasant smoking experience or worse, cause the cigar to go out. Age is the key to a CC's burn.

    Secondly, when a cigar begins to burn unevenly, the trick is vigilance. You have to hold the cigar so that the slower burning side is on the bottom when the cigar is resting and as you smoke your cigar, begin to fix the burn by taking several short puffs and one big puff to start to spread the burn on the leaf. Do this while gradually turning the slow burning side to the side and you'll notice it begin to catch and fix itself after a while. Just keep an eye on it and try to avoid having to relight it with a lighter if at all possible. That just ruins things.

    But all of that said, it is just a testament to the fact that without capitalism employees have no motivation to put in their best effort. As James Suckling once wrote, it would be a glorious day for cigar smokers if Alejandro Robaina's wrapper leaf could be blended into a cigar using Jose Padron's rollers. CCs are being rolled by people who are given no reason to make every cigar they roll better than the last. The cigars are all worth the $2 paycheck the roller gets at the end of the day whether it burns evenly or not.

    I was always a CC smoker and had had very few NC's in past before joining UKCF.
    I've rarely had a problem with the CC's. Some have certainly had problems with construction problems in the past but more recently these seem to have been ironed out, in general. Maybe I've just been lucky, but my favoured smokes, Partagas, Bolivar, Ramon Allones and Montes have all been reasonably consistent with few burn or smoke issues, and from your description, I smoke slower than you do.
    Mine are all kept at around 68RH, temp depends on time of year (rightly or wrongly I don't really monitor temp)
    I smoke straight from humi as I do with NC's and would have to say I have had more probs with them than the Cubans.
    That said, I am trying many different NC's and to be fair, my favoured ones of them are also very consistent.

    I was thinking of dry-boxing. I'll give it a go on my next one and report back.
