I agree with Kuzi, some buildup is bound to happen and the speed at which you smoke will dictate this as well.
yes. speed is a cause as well. slow down. think 1 hour and 45 min for a toro at minimum.
I agree Kuzi, here are my speeds(or so): Corona-45min, Robusto 1hr-1hr 15min, Belicoso-1hr and 45min, Toro-2hr, Churchie-2hour and 30min...or something like that
I am a faster smoker and rarely experience this but if I get a little tar build up I will break out the cutter and trim as thin a sliver as I can to get back to fresh tobacco. I agree keeping RH down in cigars (60-65%) reduces this issue greatly
I used to be a super fast puffer and would get that somtimes. Now a robusto can last me closer to 2 hrs and I rarely get tar or soft squishy cigars. RH is about 67 for me. A tight draw can cause it as well as less smoke escapes and causes build up.
I have left cigars at the half way point ( very few ), and I have smoked cigars to where I was burning my lips and fingers at the same time. Where ever I decide I have had enough is the end. If you don't enjoy what the last third is offering, Put it down content with what the first two thirds gave you.
might need to get a bigger cut on the cap, if it starts to get kinda juicy,oily cut a lil more off and see if that helps , had a gran habano vintage 2002 do that to me
Amen Kuz-----buddy of mine does this. No quicker way to go from a cigar you like...to one you will never have again....when you smoke it past "that point".
