I agree with you on this one. I have had the same problems with the same stick. I check it off to being kind of young (I smoke it right off the truck.B&M had just got these in) Yes they are a great looking smoke and I too expected more from them. I have one more in the bottom of the box so I will try it again in about a month and see if it changes.
Thanks for the review

Bought a 5er of these from C-Bid a few years ago. Had the same problem with all 5. Terrible construction.

I've had this one for at least a year. I think I have a few more. I remember smoking one before that was pretty good, just not this one. They can't all be good.

I enjoyed the hell out of these a few years ago - I'd completely forgotten about them. Thanks for the reminder.

I don't have much experience with the robustos, but the toros and coronas are some of the best cheap smokes I've had!

I really like these sticks but I agree that the draw always seems tight to me. Maybe if they didn't box press them they would be better.

I tried one of these because the salesperson highly recommended it. I don't remember any draw problems but the flavor was just too mild for me, and I hardly ever say that. It was like smoking air. Mine may have been the natural though I'm not sure.

The draw wasn't bad, just a little firm...don't think that was the issue...had tighter draws that were much easier to smoke. It just wasn't meant to be.

Good thing I got more cigars to smoke!
