Tight Spot

[SMQQKIN]

An hour to kill while watching some basketball, so I fired up a SCLDH Principe. Awe man... it's not completely plugged but a very tough draw. So I start pinching the cigar up & down to find the plug. SOB another cigar with a plug right at the band. I don't run into this often because I mostly buy PSP/HQ cigars from Rob. However, when I get one it is usually at the band which makes it tough to cut out of a short cigar. Anyone run into this as well at the band & have thoughts on when it does happen why it is seems to be more common in the band area?

Hi mate i have a theory on this that could be completely wrong but I think when a roller rolls it in their hand it bunches the tobacco leaves more tightly at this spot near the end. Kind of like when you roll up a flag or a sheet of canvas it often bunches near the end. Of course this is just my theory happy to be proved wrong with a proper answer!!

This can happen with El Principe. Even more common with BCJ. For some reason Party Shorts don't seem to be plugged as often. But it can happen. It's something Rob usually looks pretty hard for with Minutos, but the occasional one gets by. If the cigar isn't bulging or clearly overfilled, it's impossible to screen for.

... was the wrapper in a right or left helix?
