Partagas Lusitanias

Anybody smoke one of those from the last buy?

I just did and it was a shitty. Huge, I mean HUGE, plug in it down near the band. I puffed and puffed on that bastard for 40 minutes before I gave up with about half of it left. I pulled it apart and found the biggest vein I have ever seen. Monster thing. There were 2 others that were big too.

What I tasted was ok but the draw was so tough that it made the whole thing unenjoyable.

I smoked them fast. they suffer the same malady that long cigars suffer, weak draws. I've been moving away from lengthy cigars and sticking with the more compact ones.

I find that if I'm having a hard time drawing or pulling a lot of smoke, it's best to just chop that sucker in half. it improved immensely.

Those Lusi's need a few years in a humi before they will be ready. Mine are still sleeping.

That's unfortunate. It's a problem that happens far too frequently. No matter how good a cigar should be, a bad draw=bad cigar... period. Hope the other one is better.
