boy do i feel like a Newb

[bopmachine]

I've always avoided Pyramidas, torpedos, etc as I always seem to have draw issues with them. I've had some partagas SPN2's sitting in my humi for about 3 months and havent smoked them for this reason. Well today I decided to bite the bullet and mike it my lunchtime smoke. Same issues as before. I was just about to abandon an almost full puro…

Then i decide what the heck ill trim a little more off… and it opened up! its now smoking a real treat!

After more than 10 years of smoking cigars you'd think I would have figured that one out ages ago!

boy do I feel newbish!

Don't know what you're using to snip-'em with Bop. But, if you get the chance check out the Cuban Crafters cutter. Has a clever little hole at the base of the double blades .... perfect length torp cutting every time.

hey bopmachine,
how much are you trimming off? i usually cut about a 1/4"..... i use the cuban crafter perfect cutter arf mentioned!!! i moved up to smoking Pyramidas/ torpedos whatever you wanna call them over the summer (partagas p2's, bolivar belicosos finos, upmann no.2's, monte 2's) and i never once had any draw or burn issues!!! also, i've worked my way through 2 10 boxes of p2's in the last few months and all have been perfect!!!!

if it feels tight on the pre-light draw, then you need to trim a little more!!!!

all the best,

alex

My gandfather always taught me to make a hole just under 1/4" in diameter on torps, so I have been following that (bad) advice for years. The hole I made to open her up was little more 5/16"

My grandfather was a tough man to disagree with. Even breaking his rule to open that puro up felt wierd? and hes been gone almost 9 years. I felt like he was going to charge in my office and whack me on the side of my head!
