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.
