Maverick Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I was wondering if someone could give me the definition of a plugged cigar. I hear Ken talking about them so much I was wondering what they are, and how one can tell when a cigar is 'plugged'. Hope this isnt a stupid question that I should have known. Ross...

Basically a stick that's incorrectly rolled or overfilled making it extremely difficult to draw/take a toke etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I Can't wait for Ken to try and answer this one Causes of plugged cigars: 1. Rolled too tight. Inexperience, lack of care, charachterised by the tobacco being compressed at the foot of the cigar (look at the foot and you will see if it has been compressed). 2. Cigar is over humidified or shipped wet. 3. Twisting of the filler. Particularly when rolling Torpedo's and Belicoso. When you feel a knot up near the band it is generally a sign of the filler having been twisted when rolled. To clarify, roll a newspaper and blow....nice easy airflow. Now roll a newspaper, twist one end and blow....you get the idea. 4. Stem in the filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would it be safe to say that a cigar with a really hard draw could be classified as plugged. I have had some that felt like drawing air through a brick wall. Ross...

In American slang, the term "plugged" often refers to an obvious attempt to market something through controversial means. In Australia, I believe the word is "flogged". :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
