Tat Petit Cazadores Reserva question

DTM · 03-28-2012, 05:56 PM

Picked up several of these last time I was in the big city. Had high hopes as I am looking for a small smoke. Everyone that I smoked was plagued with a very tight draw. I was curious if anyone else had this problem or maybe I just got unlucky with the ones that I had chosen.

I have had many of these and not had that problem yet. These are one of my Fav small sticks.
Sounds like they might be a little over-humidified. Maybe let them rest a bit first.

Couldn't agree more. I haven't had this issue with these sticks and I smoke through quite a few of them.

I had a tight draw on many I smoked out of the cab I had. Tight but not unsmokable.

tsolomon · 03-28-2012, 06:28 PM

The draw has been pretty good on the ones from my cab. Smoked a bunch and don't think of them as having a bad draw.

I haven't had an issue with the couple that I've had.

Try dryboxing one for a few days.

Haven't had a tight draw on one yet either.
Have gone through more than half my cab.

Been through a couple cabs myself and never a tight draw. Are you clipping enough off when cutting it. Sometimes the smaller smokes can be tricky. Also, any chance they are over humidified? Not saying they can't be tight as they are a hand made product but just trying to help you trouble shoot.

I have had 3-4 cabs of these and never had this problem. It does sound like it may have been too wet. Mine sit on the top shelf in my tower, it rarely goes over 64% humidity up there, so my small cigars and CC's stay up there.

Never had a problem with the 10-20 I've gone through. They always tend to be a loose draw for me if anything.

Thanks for the replies. Guess I will have to pick some more up next time I am in the big city and try dry boxing them.

Nary a single draw problem with this stick for me, and I've been through some. Tasty little powerhouse of a cigar snack. Check your humidity?

no problems, gone through at least a box of 50....these pack a punch for a smaller stick, albeit one dimensional. Try cutting off a little more from the head?

Humidity isn't a problem. Probably didn't let them sit long enough.
