AF cigars in general are rolled a little on the tight side bro. Never had one plug, but thay are usually tight.

I did ATTEMPT to smoke my first PLUGGED RP Sun Grown on Sat. Had to toss is after 1/8 of an inch.

Oliva cigars are always good for an effortless draw.....

I have hit a number of what I called plugged cigars lately and have been told that there is a difference between plugged and over-tight. One would need a draw tool to fix as there is a physical obstruction that you might be able to poke through, but the other might be fixed through dry boxing. The theory is that they might smoke better if they are allowed to dry up. I just put 5 SC El Principes that have been tight to the point of unsmokeable in a dry box to see what they will be like over the next week or so. Today is the second full day in the dry box and I will smoke one tonight when I get home. They have been kept around 60-63% RH, the dry box is showing around 31%.
