Had a day out in Blackpool, ate a giant ice cream followed by a massive Gurkha Buffet, now if I can only roll myself to a humi I will have a cigar. Something strong...very strong...
Bolivar BF, I've only had one of these before and loved it, and the first few draw on this one have got me thinking why the hell did I wait a year for my second?!
Started this afternoon with a Cohiba Siglo 6. The long and short of it, it was plugged. I massaged it, tried again, then chopped an inch off, it was actually worse, hardly any draw at all. I was so disgusted that such an expensive stick was such rubbish, I cut it up into shreds and discarded it. Then I went for a Siglo 2. It was fantastic, superb draw, excellent flavours, didn't need any adjustment, certainly made up for the previous disaster. I still don't understand how such an expensive premium cigar like the 6 could be so badly constructed.

real shame.... just remember that despite the fact that thy're bloody expensive, they're still handrolled pieces of leaves that are packed by hands. did you even try a little draw poker? a barbie skewer works the best for things like that.
with plugged cigars, normally i cut off the burnt part and save it to smoke later in my pipe. works great and can pack 3-4 bowls with a cigar that size.
Mind you, with plugged cigars, you can sometimes return it to whichever B&M you got it from. that's the policy in any good B&M i've ever been to.
Now here's the 30 quid question: do you have any more from the same box?

This was stick number 4 from a box of ten. The first three were excellent. Will try another soon and see.
