I find the smoothest drawing cigars to be the ones rolled on the thighs of Nicaraguan virgins. Determining which ones those are takes years of experience and study. I suggest you get started. I'm not giving up any of my secrets.

Do draft dodgers have reunions? And if so what do they talk about?

Maybe you would like a Berger and Argenti Entubar. They utilize the entubar bunching process. Seems to me like this bunching process allows channels of air to run through the cigar. Since oxygen is key to combustion, this could be a good a thing!
Here's a page at Tobacconist University that I found very informative: http://tobacconistuniversity.org/tob...m-rolling2.asp

All cigar rollers use the same "bunching" process for long filler cigars. It's in the skill of the roller that the cigar is not bunched too tight. I don't think anyone necessarily has that market cornered (e.g. "the entubar bunching process") - it's more in the quality control process. Even the Cuban cigar factories have been struggling with ensuring their cigars do not have a tight draw.
Fuente does have a very tightly controlled QC process. A number of other factories do as well. Davidoff is another that comes to kind, though (as Will said) Padron and Camacho do as well.
honestly, I've done very well by staying away from cheap cigars. I've noticed my largest issue with draw has usually been with bargain basement stuff.

Not that it needs to be said, but personal observation leads me to conclude that drinking and forum posting can sometimes lead to foot in mouth disease.
I knew what your were saying, and assumed from that you did not know what I was saying. Don't buy into marketing hype - sometimes it's meant to enlighten but it's always meant to sell.![]()
I'm quite certain fish is well versed in cigar manufacture and can elucidate the differences between entubar, accordian and book styles of rolling. More importantly - he can talk about the advantages of each and discuss the skill of the roller and how each style matches their ability...
I'm not very educated in cigar rolling, other than what I've read and tried myself. I simply meant that these styles, that is, entubar, accordian, and book bunching are inherently different. Thus, all torcederos don't use the same bunching technique in regards to long filler cigars.
I'm no expert, and I haven't really read a lot on the above link, but I remember when they first appeared, and I thought the whole site seemed kinda shady, and sorta a marketing strategy. I mean, what they seem to be "certifying" is tobacconists. I don't see any sort of manufacturer certification. Padron is a sponsor of the site, and Jorge is a "certified honorary tobacconist."
Again, I can't verify any of the information on there, but based on that I'd take it with a grain of salt.
