CANNIBAL!

Haha a Swiss couple too......hints of cocoa, I guess from all the swiss chocolate they consume. Not bad, not bad haha

Dammit, I just had my first ever plugged cigar, Partagas D No.4.

I was thinking in the last couple of days of posting a thread saying that I hadn't encountered a plugged cigar yet, and that I guess I have been lucky. But I would be disappointed with a plugged cigar as I paid good money for it etc. etc.

Now I have actually had one.....at one point I was going to put it down as it was too annoying, but I persevered. The plug was about an inch from the end......horrible smoke, pain in the ass to draw from. I see why people say "Life is too short for plugged cigars, bin it and move on". Next time I will just bin it, but I didn't have a lot of time so didn't want to reach for a fresh one.....oh well.....my first experience, and lets hope I last a long time again before striking another! But I have been surprised by how frequently people talk about them on here and had thought it was strange I had never experienced one....

To be honest I've never really had one either, I did have an ERDM Demi Tasse (if that's the little one) that was plugged but that was all. What I do is if I see a cigar that is really tightly rolled I will cut it either before I put it in the humi or a day or 2 before I smoke it and it seems to do the trick

If you get another pluged cigar don't light it up! If your getting some cigar wrapper, save it, dismantle it and re-roll it!
Not many people have this option, so make the most of it!
