Draw differences and meanings

Most likely the cigar was rolled loosely. You want a little resistance when you puff, but not too much where you turn red.

As you smoke more brands and more cigars, you will know who are consistent with their quality control.

Oliva is pretty good on QC, but you will get one or two flukes. Don't scratch them off, cuz they are actually one of my fav brands. I haven't smokes much Gs, but I do love their Master Blends and Serie V.

The easy way to fix this problem you had is to use a different cut. I use certain cuts for certain smokes. Like almost always, ISOM's are rolled tight so I make sure to always use a guillotine as to open it up almost all the way. Even then I start by only cutting a very thin piece, then more if needed.... Try smoking one of them again, but just use a punch cut/bullet cutter. They have different sizes of bullet cutters too, so look for a smaller one. I use my bullet cut on almost all my non-isom's...

I agree with mrtr33 (which is good since I'm getting his sampler today). I like medium to lighter draw, but I also tend to oversmoke it and get it hot. And I like the Olivas a lot.
