A few weeks ago I picked up a five pack of the perdomo 2 maduro and a five pack of the Cameroon’s. So far all three of the maduro's I have tried have been plugged. I thought at first it might just be moisture so I set two aside unwrapped in a dry cigar box for 8 days and tried another with the same response. I then set the other out on my kitchen counter for three days and it too was still plugged. Any one else had this problem? I tried one of the Cameroon’s and it smoked just fine.

Perdomo has his own site and BB. He's a great customer service kind of guy. Contact them if you feel like it, he may suprise you.

I have been through, 4-5 boxes worth of Perdomo2.
I have only had one plugged cigar. You must have gotten a bad batch.
I agree, check the Perdomo site, for customer service.

I've also smoked many of those, no problems yet.

Now, the Cabinet Selection sometimes are a tight draw. But most are fine..... :>)

Smoked the Perdomo2 Milenario maduro and had no trouble. Guess you got the bad batch.

Any number of different Perdomos are in my humidor ... in fact, I just finished one ... I just don't have "plugged" issues with their cigars (or for that matter, with many cigars of ANY manufacturer ... about 10 days ago, I had one that was fairly tight, which is about as bad as it gets in my experience ... I can't account for what you describe and suggest that you follow the advise of contacting them and see what their response is ... (and do a follow up letting us know how it turns out, won't you?)

I have experienced very few plugged cigars in my experience as well, as for a tight draw, these were more like the proverbial "sucking a golf ball through a garden hose". I actually got a sore jaw trying to smoke the last one. I have many perdomo products in my humidors as well and have never had a problem with any of them. Also, I went ahead and emailed them through their web site and I'll let you know their response when I get it.

Have not had plugging problems with any of the Perdomo that I have smoked. Recently I did have a Perdomo2 Milenario Cameroon that got super juicy about half way through that restricted the draw. I just put the rest of what I had down for a long nap.

I've had the same really-tough draw problem on a pack of Perdomo 2s, but found that it was resolved with time in the humidor. This particular group I purchased was just carrying a bit too much moisture apparently. After a few months, the draw was vastly improved.

Well, I emailed the Perdomo company about this and I got this response back today.
-------------------------------------------

Kevin,

Sometimes over humidification (especially on Nicaraguans) have an
adverse effect on draw/burn.

Ironically, I was just on a 2 week trip to California doing numerous
Perdomo promotions. I just opened 17 emails praising our cigars.
However, we at Perdomo take these flaws very seriously.

Please send me your address and phone # and I will replace the cigars.

Thanks//George Sosa
---------------------------------------------

Needless to say I am very pleased with their customer service and would recommend anyone else with problems to give them a call or email.

That is really what I would call prompt attention.

Perdomo cigars are class to begin with and this makes them even better in my book.

Plugged Perdomo??
IMPOSSIBLE!!
It must be your humidity. It's too high. Or too low.
Or maybe you cut it wrong. Was it humid out? Raining?
Well, it must have been a single bad cigar. Or two. Three? You must be cursed.
Go get an excorcism and try another. In fact, buy 8 boxes of different sizes. Only THEN can you make an informed decision about such a grand smoke.
How dare you bad mouth the manufacturers by saying it was plugged. It MUST have been YOU!
Oh, wait. I was thinking about Buccanero.
Nevermind...
