A while ago I got a few samplers from JR.  and a few other 5 packs.
The samplers were dead garbage and the montes were moldy.  JR lack of give a fuck when I called to tell them they had an issue with the humidor with the dried dead and moldy prompted me to throw the entire order and take my business elsewhere.

Went to CI last week, the unsmokable box of partagas black label should have been my tip off from a couple months ago.  18/20 were unsmokable.

This time I picked up a bundle of the Gran Habano vintage on the deal.  19/20 un smokable due to knots where only 1/3 or less of each cigar was able to get a draw.  Went through 5 blowing out trying to get a draw to light them.   The last well... 2nd most horrible fucking thing I have ever lit up, did not make it an inch into the stick before tossing it.
The others were 1876s, 23/25 mushed out, voids and knots.  Lit one up and retched it was so god damned green and fucked up tasting.  On the level of the Camacho triple maduro, dipped motor oil and lit off a tire fire.  I instantly retched and gagged from the fucked up mixture of green and fucked up.   Took every stick out of my humidor and the entire order went into the shit can.

Neptune cigar has been amazing to deal with. Same with Emerson cigar.

A PerfecDraw will help with draw issues.

I did that 15+ years ago.

I collected plenty and now have some tins that are 15+ also. Should be aged to perfection.

If you have to use this with any regularity, you're doing it wrong.

Or you just prefer a specific draw and even hand rolled cigars can be inconsistent.
