Tight draw

[Shaunylw]

Hey guys, I have had a few really tight draw issues lately. The humidor is perfect as far as I know, 65% and maybe 70 degrees on average. I just cannot figure it out. I buy sticks usually from e same b&m and the two tight draws have been from the same place. Oe was a Muwat and the other which I am currently tossing a la aurora 107. The cut is good, taking just the triple cap off with my xikar. I can't recall ever having this issue in the last few years.

Just fired up a tatuaje Havana and its perfect, same humidor as the 107 purchased from the same b&m.

I always check my draw after my cut and if it is tight I dry box them,...don't know if that's much help! Also calibrate your hygrometer again might help

That's not a bad idea to dry box after the cut if its tight. May give that a go if it happens again.

This is perfect.

BnMs frequently have high RH.

Let them sit in your humi for 4-5 weeks to acclimate before smoking

Sometimes doing a recut helps.

This plus I will use a toothpic or long finishing nail as a draw tool. I'll run it into the head a few times being careful not to damage. This helps alot!
