Combination of factors…
-Torcedero’s skill level and type of roll
-RH of the cigar
-type of tobacco for binder and filler, and to a lesser extent, the wrapper
I have some 8+yo Jaime Garcia Robs that are PACKED, and heavy, and burn slow and perfect, with an efforless draw.
On the other hand, most of the Padrons I’ve had are quite “light”, yet feel firm, and burn perfect, with a perfect draw.
Just so many variables involved, it makes me appreciate the brands that consistently crank out cigars that taste good and burn properly.
Some cigars that, in my experience are well packed, yet draw easily and burn well include:
LFD, Sobremesa, Jaime Garcia, most Tats, MF Le Bijou, others…
