Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Isn't this your second "incident" with this smoke? maybe you got a bad box/bunch or so new that they are wet beyond belief.
EVERY LP product I've smoked, and I have smoked them all, has had stellar burn and draw. PERFECT. Weird.
Has no one else experienced problems with an LP?
Am I like the 1-in-a-million on this one?
I've smoked 3 LP's and this is the first time it has happened, but man, it was baaaaad.
Maybe it was a very, very isolated incident. I sure hope so, because I have a bunch more.
I have a feeling you might be getting another chance at the T52 soon... :cbig:So yeah, I smoked a T52 Toro and while the flavours were delicious, it had quite possibly the worst burn I have EVER experienced.
It started with the very prominent veins causing the burn to dip all over the place. Sometimes it would dip as far as half an inch on one side.
Then, 2 inches in, suddenly...
NO SMOKE!
Um...what?
Yeah, I wasn't getting any smoke. But I WAS getting a delicious flavour of bitter grass and tar. Just lovely.
There was a plug so bad that it was like a few small rocks in the middle of the cigar.
So I clipped it down and re-lit it. Of course, cutting it like that causes the wrapper to unravel, so I'm fighting to hold the cigar together while I'm smoking it.
Then, when I was down to about where the label would have been (so about 2 inches left)...ANOTHER PLUG.
I ended up just throwing it away at that point.
I would have expected this kind of thing from a $2 Gurkha (which I smoked the other night and it burned perfectly).
I would NOT expect that from an $11 Liga Privada.
That's just unacceptable to me.
