josie67 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Roughly 3 per box I would say. Been using the perfecdraw tool, and that’s been helping out quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just gonna go ahead and remove all the plug causing fillers to achieve 100% Pinar Del Rio shiny wrapper flavours!!!!

RijkdeGooier Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Very very low. Well below 5% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitte3 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Picked up a few good pointers here. I unfortunately fall is the 20%+ group, but have been slowly lowering humidity levels across the board and realize Cubans are an entirely different beast than NC's. Resting periods, youthful cigars, quality control, humidity levels, temperature, sheer quantity of Cubans in your collection. It's hard to stare at a few newer boxes of Cubans and let them settle and acclimate for 90 days to a year or two, but luckily I'm getting to a point where 1) Cuban stock is steadily growing with a range of newer to older sticks 2) stocked with NC's I like 3) have a good understanding of different factors that can cause tight draws and 4) the patience to wait. I believe a combination of all the above will improve my experiences with tight draws, but it took a lot of tinkering and learning to get to this point.

Cairo Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I have never had a tight draw on a Cuban--guess I need to smoke more. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habana Mike Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Well aged, dry boxed, anything and everything including PerfecDraw I still have dozens and dozens that won't draw at all! Rob, if I send you 100 plugged cigars and you agree, can I get 10:1 back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKostyan Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 When using a set of techniques that I learned including on the forum, I do not remember a single discarded cigar.The most important thing is to correctly identify and eliminate the cause before lighting up.

BoliDan Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Im definitely 5-10 out of 100. I even smoke drier than most. 2-3 throw aways a month. Usually bring a back up just in case. I imagine vitola preference and factory pickiness has a lot to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Tigre Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Just suffered through a HURR tent peg that was gifted at the festival We’ve been pretty lucky so far with our overall Cuban experiences. Had it dry boxed for a month. The bands all slipped off and still no luck. Hit it with the perfecdraw and pulled out a stem. Opened up some after that but after lighting it was like drawing a DQ Blizzard through a coffee stirrer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamrandr Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 In my opinion if a stick is plugged then aging won't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
