Anybody ever have this happen?

After dinner tonight I fired up an Origen by J. Fuego. The others I've had have been pretty good but this one was/is different (I'm still struggling with it). It feels heavier in the hand but what's really noticeable is that there seems to be enough tobacco in it to make 1 1/2 cigars. I've never encountered a cigar that was wrapped tighter that this puppy. After running two air passages all the way through it, it's still like sucking on the end of a broomstick. I can hardly get enough air through it to keep it lit. A guy can get a hernia from sucking on a stick like this. Comments?? Yeah, I know it's handmade - but other than that??

Hate when that happens. Luckily I've not come across any that I couldn't eventually get opened. Had a few that would keep closing and had to repeatedly keep running a poker thru it.

No one ever wants to admit defeat or put down a good cigar that they paid for. Lucky for me I have only encountered a few plugged cigars and I fight through it. Usually there will be a point where it finally lets up. I love torpedos and I find that since I like to kind of chew on the end that when I do that it seems to loosen up the tobaccos and the draw improves. I have seen a few cigars that make you wonder how they managed to squeeze in so much tobacco. A few guys have dissected plugged cigars and taken pictures of some awful looking stems. Some so big you have to wonder how they were overlooked.

Draw is one thing i don't tolerate... I've used pokers to some success, but if it doesn't work, it's gone. But if it's tunneling or conueing I'll just keep on truckin'

Thanks, Mr. B. I would never have thought of coring it. I'll have to give that a try.
