Thanks for the review. Let them sit another 6 months at 65%. That
should help with the tough draw. You might also consider a test draw
before putting the flame to it. If it is tight, put it back in the
humidor.

Stupid question - how do you test draw before lighting up?

??? SOrry but that is quite stupid... I'll answer it anyway....

1. Snip just below the cap
2. Put cigar in mouth
3. Draw air into lungs through cigar
4. IF Cigar is
a. easy to draw = good... proceed to light
b. Difficult to draw = bad... draw poker or more rest needed
END



Thanks Chris, that is how I do it as well. You might also mention to your
thieving friends that anything with a clipped cap has touched your lips,
while they are routing around in your humidor. <g>
