Jaybird Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I purchased a box of Don Alejandro about 6 months ago and I've been letting them rest. I began smoking them and 4 out of the 5 that I've smoked seem to be rolled very tight and were difficult to draw to say the least. Its a shame because they are such beautiful cigars and the flavor was there in spades but the draw was tight enough that it cheated the experience. I understand that cigars are a handmade product and I certainly hope that I've just picked the tight ones in the box and the rest are fine. Does anyone know if this is a common issue for the Don Alejandro? I know they were discontinued... Also, do you have any advice as to fix the issue ? I tried massaging the cigars several times and rolling them between my fingers to no avail. Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rckymtn22 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Try dry boxing them for a few days. Another suggestion is to put the cigar in the fridge for awhile. I remember Rob suggesting doing the fridge method in a post a couple years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclepauly25 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The only thing I can suggest is buying a perfect draw tool, I bought one and used it several times already, you can google it and purchase it from the web site. Also I would drop your humidity between 62 and 65 % also you can dry box for a few days, when cigars are too moist they tend to have a tighter draw. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I’d dry box them for several weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstix Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 If they are that plugged, dry boxing probably won't help. They are tree-trunks and you need the Perfect Draw tool to ream them out and open up the draw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
