Why is the draw so tight?

[Hoshneer]

I had some plugged CC when I first started, it happened alot. Then a friend pointed out they were all fakes.

I definitely had a higher ratio of of tight CC though compared to NC. I suspect a percentage from some people are because of fakes.

What's your plug % Ara? You may want to record it for 6-12 months and see what your personal results are. Just from experience most were shocked by how low the results were.

I'm not debating your stats or results. I simply said I can remember many ccs that have been plugged and cannot recall one nc that has been an issue. It could be that it is my fault but it is what it is.

But like I said, I smoke better ncs than ccs and certainly do not have the same stock of ccs as you cc ballers. And I certainly am not as well read or knowledgable on cigars as many on this forum. I just like to smoke cigars. Having said that, I do not have the energy or the inclination to document or even review cigars normally.

I like Ara. He makes the moon shine brighter.

It's cause I reflect the Son.

It's nice that some people have had good experiences but I've smoked thousands of NCs, just took up CCs about a year ago, and it's like night and day. CCs have vastly more draw and underfilling problems (the other, often-overlooked side of the coin) than NCs ever had. There's no question about it whatsoever in my personal experience.

I have to agree. absolution no question about it. Perhaps its just my preference in draw (I don't mind a loose draw), but CC's are always tighter. Not plugged or unsmokeable, just tighter.

Smoke what you like. Like what you smoke.

I've had 19 ccs since and 5 were plugged. Party RE, Punch, 898, Boli BF, and another one I cannot recall. From 3 different humis just so they're not from the same humi.

if you have tight cc's part of it is moisture.
the rest is poor rolling.............

That's why I said different humis at different humidities.
