Draw differences and meanings

[mrtr33]

Does that mean it was dried out?

Not necessarily.

Was it just packed loosely?

More than likely.

Does that affect flavor?

I don't know.

I enjoy a cigar I get a medium draw from. It's definitely a sweet spot that I look for. If it draws too loose, then I end up smoking it too fast (I'm looking at you, Camacho!) - if it is too tight, I end up with a headache at the end of the cigar from trying to draw too hard. I can say from experience that tight draws take away from my pleasure of the cigar. I am more concerned about working on getting my desired smoke volume than cigar taste. On the other hand, if it's got too loose a draw, then I run the risk of it burning hot once I get down to the end of the cigar.

I'm sure other people have far better insight, however.
