Torpedo draw issues

[AD720]

I sometimes cut torpedos a again when I am further into the cigar.

sometimes I will have to do the same thing, sometimes saliva will clog it up or the funneling of the smoke could cause some tars to build at the tip which would be cleared after taking off a couple of mm

I cut all my torpedos/belicosos at an angle, this will increase the surface area. Sometimes though the draw will still tighten up and a second cut of about 1/4" will usually be enough to fix the draw problems.

Seems like I always hafta do this with torps!

They tend to get plugged up with slobber for me; this doesn't happen with parejos because I punch them, and when I cut them, the spit only affects the outer edges.

I am smoking an LFD DL right now that has flat torpedo thing going on. Think of the wood tipped Hav-a-Tampa's.

Great cigar, but I have spit it out twice now. After 45 minutes though, I think I have it under control now.

Carry on.

Hate to thread jack here, but wanted to add that the LFD DL I just finished was a great cigar. Got it in my last lottery winnings, don't know who to thank, but it was a good one!
