Tossed THREE premium smokes in less than a week

[Tobias Lutz]

I was smoking an un-banded Nicaraguan the other day that had an amazing flavor profile but the draw was so tight that I gave up on it after about 15 minutes. It was like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

I've given up on a cigar for construction issues. I believe only twice in my life have I chucked one in the first half for taste.

Agreed. I always want to give it the benefit of the doubt and cross my fingers that it will redeem itself in the second half, which, often times it does.

Remember folks, this is from the man who inflicted upon himself the 'Po Boy Masochist Extravaganza', which involved smoking (among others) a Duque and a Ron Mexico down to the nub. I certainly wouldn't expect him to discard a cigar because of the taste!
