T110 exploded....

boom · 03-07-2010, 12:08 PM

What to do..... The darn USPS crushed a box in a trade... This was the only stick out of 8 other sticks and the only T110 I have yet to try....

Should I ..

A) clip at the band and try to smoke this...

B) smoke as is...

C) give up the fact I will not be able to smoke and enjoy this at all....

You have to give it try and smoke it.I would.

pnoon · 03-07-2010, 12:10 PM

Pics would help. But you have nothing to lose by trying something.

I reluctantly sold a fiver of these a while ago and it appears that two of the five "exploded" at the foot. I wonder if it had anything to do with the roll.

I would be curious to know if they use a similar wrapper to the East/West Coasts as those wrappers are super delicate and get damaged just by looking at them wrong and if that were the case it would make a lot of sense hearing about wrapper issues with these. Sad to see a great stick get damaged during transit. I agree with the rest and say smoke it, although I am in the camp of trying to repair it a little with pectin first. You would be amazed of the results as I recently repaired a stick that I received in a trade that looked like it had been through a couple world wars. I fixed it up with a bit of pectin and surprisingly the thing smoked flawlessly.

Clip and smoke, Troy.

I'd flip it & smoke it from the foot. I've did it before, it's not too horrible.

maninblack · 03-07-2010, 01:27 PM

Damn, that sucks.Your best bet would to just smoke it, instead of getting the run around from the USPS.

Smoke it backwards!!!! ...and maybe upside down if you think it might help

I've done it before... Not the optimal smoking experience but it works! Such a same to see a T110 in that shape

kelmac07 · 03-07-2010, 01:44 PM

I agree...clip it and torch it!!

junkinduck · 03-07-2010, 01:50 PM

A) or B). What have you got to loose? If you don't want to try it send it to me. I will try about anything once.

eber · 03-07-2010, 01:54 PM

I say clip it and leave the band on it so that it lessens the chance of the wrapper unraveling.

Salvelinus · 03-07-2010, 01:55 PM

What eber said. Absolutely smoke that thing.

Chris. · 03-07-2010, 02:29 PM

I say, just remove the rest of the wrapper near the cap, use cigar glue to hold the remainder down, and smoke that bish! It will make your sinuses explode as well.

elderboy02 · 03-07-2010, 02:46 PM

Clip it. It should smoke fine except for the last half inch where the wrapper is missing.

ucla695 · 03-07-2010, 02:48 PM

Yup, clip and torch!

maverickdrinker · 03-07-2010, 02:49 PM

use a punch cutter and fire it up.

My Vote Is - Clip and go!
