I think I remember this from the multiple articles and videos about the Gurkha Vintage Shaggy. They say light it up as normal. The shaggy foot of the cigar is so that it's easier to light and to evenly distribute the burn across the entire cigar. At least that's what they say. As for dry boxing, I've heard it was for an hour or two. I usually did two hours back in Texas, because I had some burn issues with a lot of maduros there.

I agree on just lighting up the Shag but I drybox for a day. Thats what Ive been told to do Idk! lol

Think of the shaggy foot as merely cosmetic, as it really serves no purpose...you can do what you like with it, though personally I just toast the foot like normal and light up. I don't dry box cigars, so I don't have any input on that, although anywhere from 2-6 hours sounds like it would be ok to me, the cigar isn't going to petrify and should lose a bit of moisture.

Dry boxing is like most other things it depends on the cigar and person. I dont find much need for it since like kuzi my RH is between 65 and 68 but more 65. Dry boxing is only really for the most oily smokes or something a little moister than you would like. As far as shaggys lite and smoke

lol. I'm working on it Kas, don't think I'm gonna make two days though. My posting seems to have fallen off a bit since I'm doing everything from my phone for the time being. I'll get there, if maybe a little slower.

I have also read where the intention is for the smoker to get a taste of the filllers without the influence of the wrapper leaf.

What about the cigars where the shaggy foot is all wrapper, like Kristoff?

I can't believe I was giving Hank Craisans, I hate when someone texts me info and gets it wrong. No wonder he wouldn't help me with the traps.
