you think I got a bad stick? oliva serie V

[rhmalone]

My guess is you simply got a bad stick, but like others have said don't cross the V line off your list for good. The fact of the matter is you really don't know what they taste like yet and personally I love the taste.

While this may be frowned on by some, it works for me... If I ever get a stick with a tight draw I will gently bite down on the head of the cigar. I do this, because I used to recut but always seemed to jack up the cigar by doing that. A soft bite can do wonders to open up a tight stick.

Give it another go and let us know how it works out.
