thanks a lot , appreciate the replys
im eager to learn about cigars.where I live is very Dry , about 12% humidity, so if its not because of the metal tube then there , the cigar felt so light-weight and was burning relatively fast , producing too much smoke and tasted like those machine-made cheap cigars, the band was loose as well ,is that due to dryness? maybe im just unlucky lol cause i bought 2 h uppman sir winstons from the same shop and they were both plugged like hell ! couldnt draw from it at all , could there be something wrong with the way they store their cigars?
