Loose Draw

Alex Williams

All I ever hear bad about a cigar's draw is that it is tight, but I lit up a Sol Cubano Maduro last night and it didn't even feel like I was puffing on a cigar. Is this just an isolated incidence with the SC Maduro or has anyone else had a similar experience? Is there a way to actually make a cigar's draw tighter? Thanks for the input.

Nothing to do Alex, I would go through the "how is your cut" questioning, but Im sure you didnt clip off half the stick. While I agree with the other poster (pardon my brainfart I forget who it was) a tight tight tight draw is awful----I am ALMOST as bothered by an overly loose draw like you describe. I dont know why but it bothers me to the point I cant fully enjoy the cigar. My only complaint with the Olde World Reserve is that the draw is too damn loose. But again, better than "sucking cement thru a straw".....I like that one. Good luck with the sticks, hopefully you just got a loose one (insert inappropriate female joke here)

Yeah, when it comes to cigars I know have a historically looser draw, I tend to try a punch on them before I use a cutter. Sometimes I will punch a new cigar to test the draw then end up cutting it later if the draw was still too tight with the punch.

What do you mean by YOU have a looser draw?
