It was more of a crunchy feeling than sound, sorry.

Try cutting your stick and then letting it rest that way for a period of time in your humi, a few hours to a day and see if the draw is still tight. Or you could dry box it by letting it sit in a unhumidified tupperware for an hour or two before you smoke it.

Draw harder dammit!!!! Seriously though, if all of the above advice doesn't work out, then you've got some dysfunctional cigars on your hands...in which case you can use them for door stops, paper weights, drink mixers and various other handy tools.

Sounds to me like you've got some over-humidified cigars. Try dry-boxing one for a couple hours to a day and then smoke it, if it's better, then you need to do something to decrease humidity in your humi.

Silver lining: You now know what a bad cigar is and can use this as a baseline. It'll probably help you appreciate a good cigar even more.

I've noticed the same thing kuzi mentions here. Sherpa, Park Ave. Symphony, and Blue Steel come to mind. While I enjoyed them, they were a bit of a fight at times.

I haven't had issues with amy of those above but I haven't had that many of them. I think the Sherpa Cafe I had was a little too moist but it still drew well and tasted good.

I can appreciate that. Yes they are competitors. Yes they are sister companies. GAP and Old Navy are competitors. GAP and Old Navy are owned under the same umbrella. As I said, my money goes to Ccom, and for good reason. Trying to hide a real relationship isn't the answer though. I don't think Ccom has anything to hide and stands head and shoulders above every other internet tobacconist I have dealt with. I don't think it helps anyone to stand there and say "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain". However, as I have done in this post, I will respect the wishes of ownership and not mention any Ccom competitors, even ones under the same umbrella.

I like getting the best price possible for the same item. Usually shooping around there are always "deals". Lots of companies have "Price Guarantee" policies... That said, always talk with your cigar consultant to give our guys Cigar.com the benefit of the doubt> I have ordered from other places, but believe me our guys here are Head n Shoulders above the rest....Customer service, deals. friendship...they supply it all!!! These days it is about customer service, good value for our money and trying to enjoy our leisure time and families as much as possible...

I have never had a ghurka that didn't have a tight draw. I probably will never actually pay money for another Gurk again.

I just can't figure why everyone assumes they're under the same ownership just because they ship from the same warehouse. As that is the only shared component I've noticed.

I noticed another shared component but I won't mention it here.

Well, regardless of any affiliation, the service of cigar.com really stands out, as Steve mentioned. And I guess at the end of the day it doesn't really matter anyway. They both offer some great deals, I've had fine experiences with both. So I guess I can leave it at that.

I think I am with you on this one Krieg. I won't buy another one but if someone were to send me one who am I to turn down a stick or two. I have also had a hard time with the draw on La Aroma de Cuba. I started to get a headache, my jaw was tightening up, and my lungs were starting to collapse as I tried to suck what little smoke I could from these things!!! I tried a few then traded the rest off to Tat who loves them. Guess he is just better at sucking then me.
