Hey guys this is my first post been reading and buying her for over a month now. I'm probably one of the younger ones 18 but have had a love for grade A cigars since about 14 thanks to my long time family friend.

I had a natural egg last night I got it because of the novelty. Well I lit it evenly, but when I finally got fed up with the horrible burn the end of the cigar looked like this /. Anyone else have problems with this?

Hi, and Welcome
How far down did it burn? Did it get past the fat part? Like you said, it is a novelty. Most people say they are clogged. So, if you got to smoke most of it, consider yourself lucky. It is so fat that it will burn crooked it it does not have near perfect construction.

Well it burned from the beginning of the fat part to the end of the fat part unevenly. It was horrible. Ooh well the rest of the natural cigars in that sampler box are reg sticks so they'll be nice. I already smoked a jucy lucy and it was very very nice.

I was just drawn by the long smoking time of one cigar.

XJ et al.

most cigars have to be turned in the humidor every so often. with me it's once a week.

the egg should be kept in the box and turned 1 side at a time at least every other day. the moisture settles to the bottom and because of it's very thick center, if you don't turn it often it will canoe because the top of the is drier than the bottom. i smoke one occasionally and don't have that problem.

Drew Estates should make a cigar called "Chicken."
Then they would have one old question answered as far as cigars are concerned.
I smoked a chicken once.


Tasty. Used Hickory chips, although many in Texas prefer mesquite.
