A question for Kuzi

Rhamlin

I was watching a video of AJ Fernandez and notice he kept doing a peculiar thing with the cigars he would put them up to his ear and that's something I've never heard of and don't know what he was doing ,what he's listening for but I figured if anybody knew it would be Kuzi.

I am no Kuzi, but i have heard of rolling the cigar between your fingers and listening to how the wrapper responds. Can be part of a pre-light ritual.

I'll have to check this out next time. I've never heard that before.

The main reason is to check the condition and moisture of the wrapper. This is a very Cuban way to inspect cigar wrapper. In Europe, they don't do it rather than squezze the cigar gently for spingy feeling. They squezze the end, middle and the band part of the cigar.
