Dammit!! Somebody, (I shall remain nameless) got freakin' impatient and fired up a Cohiba Siglo III that had not been allowed to sit long enough.

The smokes that I got in Mexico were allowed to get too moist. I knew I had to leave them sitting for a while to allow them to get back to form slowly and I had to fire one up today.

It burned beautifully and tasted even better... but I caved my cheeks in trying to puff on it and ruined the whole damn experience. Somebody slap the taste out of my mouth. I'm stuuuuuuuuuuupid.

Most Cuban cigars are known to either be plugged or have a poor draw ...

... nothing new there.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!! I was loving the other 12 I smoked over my 3 days in Mazatlan. Never had a problem with any I've had except that one and it was my own impatience. They need to sit for a while and dry out a bit.

I have never had a plugged III 1492.

damn fine smoke

Oh it was still good bassdude, but boy did I have to work for it.

You know i did just the opposite.

received a variety of ISOMs from my bud in Germany today. They smelled sooo good I sparked up a Paratgas Lonsdale without thinking. Oh man tunneled about half way down bbefore I realized what was going on. I put it out and cut off the bad half. Now I got 1/2 a gar in a baggie.
