G5 Avenger yesterday with some coffee for breakfast when working from home. Wish I could do it more often.

Not all Gurkha's are boring!

I've officially just had my 4th unsmokeable T52.

I've had 3 Toro's with plugs so bad about an inch and a half down that I couldn't smoke it anymore. With two of them I kept cutting away and cutting away and they continued to plug up.

Just tried to smoke a Robusto this afternoon and the same thing happened. Got an inch down and it suddenly wouldn't draw anymore. I cut a bit off and found 3 balls of coal-black tobacco, that were so hard they were like small rocks. I literally couldn't squeeze them out of shape with my fingers.


I love the No. 9 and the Flying Pigs, but I think I'm pretty much done with the T52 line.

It actually kind of bums me out that I've had such horrible luck with the T52's, because the two I had that were good, were REALLY FREAKING GOOD.

But at a ratio of 2/4 (good to bad) I just cannot warrant spending $10+ a stick on something that is going to give me such problems.

I'll stick to No. 9's and FP's from now on.

hate to say you may be the unluckiest guy on earth, but who knows? can honestly say i've never had an issue with any t52, and i'd hate to think how many that would be! sorry for your bad experience, but maybe that'll leave all the good ones for ara, dutch and me!

Smoked the RP CRA Blend from the CRA Holiday Sampler. Wonderful cigar. Probably the 3rd or 4th best cigar in the sampler.

Luck or not, it seems I am just not meant to enjoy the T52 line.

Oh well, it's not like I don't have 600000000000000000000 other sticks I love to smoke.
