Was the draw too tight? The PerfecDraw tool has saved cigars that were unsmokable for me. It’s a tool worth getting—its cost gets amortized with every cigar you don’t have to toss.

That and a Bug-A-Salt. Really the only two extra tools a guy needs for outdoor smoking.

No, the draw was normal. It developed a hard spot almost like a knot as soon as I lit it. I’m not sure what causes this but it’s like the tobacco chars but will not burn, I put a triple flame to it and just held it there, still wouldn’t burn. I tried cutting it back about an inch and relighting and it still wouldn’t light.

Uncured leaf? Could be the strain of tobacco, too. I'm thinking of the Habana 2000 wrappers when they first came out. Absolutely fireproof.

Maybe, I vaguely remember someone bringing it up a few years ago. These two Blackbirds are the only ones I’ve ever had do anything like this.

How are they otherwise, I just keep passing them up at my shop. I almost picked up the fiver sampler.

They’re a good budget smoke, not super complex or anything, construction is usually spot on. IMO they need 6-12 months rest for the flavor to pop.

Remember those fondly. They started a little salty and a little sweet, then just built and built to a musky, full-bore crescendo. One of the best Habanos I ever had.
