Bill’s best years for Cuban cigars

I think we made the point to the question asked. Lets get this thread back on topic and ask CC real/fake questions in a appropriate thread.

Naw. Before we do that... I think a quick mention that today is your 13th anniversary on the boards is in order!

Congrats! 👍🥳🥂🍾

Ok, as you were everyone.
 
I am going to ask Bill @CigSid a question in an effort to get this thread headed back in the right direction.

I get the occasional plugged cigar just like everyone else does. 95% of the plugged cigars I encounter are Cuban. Is there a reason outside of QC due to the difficulty in keeping up with demand?

There are several reasons for this. 9 times out of 10, when I encounter a plugged cigar, it is because they are fresh. Cuban cigars are made to age. Many times I’ve had plugged cigars from a box, and just put it away for several years, and they (most of the time) smoke perfect when I try them again. There is nothing worse than a cigar that is too loose. They smoke very hot, and taste pretty bad, the rollers know this and anticipate the tobacco shrinking over the years. Another problem may be the humidity. Tobacco swells when too wet. Some cigars need dryboxing for a while to remove the excess moisture. Last, and certainly not least, get a perfect draw tool. I probably use mine every 3 to 4 cigars, even if it’s just to ease the draw a little bit.

Thanks! I think the perfect draw pays for itself pretty quickly.

Am I the only one who read this in Bill's radio voice...?

I know it is still early, but kind of Surprised 21 has not overtaken 20? Like I said, still to early but at least in certain brands; especially since you can't find much of anything still.
