i don't think the draw or tightness of the cigar depends on the shape so much.
i prefer the larger cigars, i get more smoke with less effort, and better taste.
IIRC, i had a couple AF that were a tight draw as well.  could be the brand.

Thanks, I too have noticed that Fuentes seem to have a slightly tighter draw than other brands.  The AF 858 maduros are pretty much my go-to smoke, and while they are considerably tighter than say, Gurkhas, these Hemingways just seemed a lot tighter.  Guess I'll keep experimenting and maybe give the torpedo shape another try.  Thanks again for the insight.

Different brands, different rolling techniques, different humidity levels....all these play a factor in the draw.

I always thought that the tight ones were rolled between the thighs of a young virgin.

Nice pic. I thought it was gonna be a pic of Bill and Monica.

Relaxing with a Perdomo Habano Maduro and some Longboards after messing with a new Open gun and trying to figure out why it wouldn't go completely into battery.  After a some frustration and a whole lot of bad words, I'm hoping its just a really tight build.  This cigar is really good though, similar in taste to an Oliva Serie G Maduro, but smoother.

Cuban cigars coming soon?

No Cubans, but i did smoke a Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne after loading 300 each .38 Super and .40 S&W.  Super smooth and pretty tasty and more smoke output than TiteGroup under a bare lead bullet.

Smoked a Flor De Las Antillas (by My Father) earlier this evening.  Excellent cigar, would be a really good first cigar of the day, or lunch time smoke.  Super smooth, lots of smoke, no bitterness or harshness, medium strength.  Wish I'd bought a couple more today.  Will probably buy a box on my next CI order.  Somewhat similar to Romeo y Julieta 1845, just a little smoother, not quite as medium-full bodied as the RyJ 1845, more like a medium.  Would be a really good everyday, anytime cigar.
