You might find the draw is a wee bit tight.

I'm happy things are well between both of you.

I must say though, I started laughing as soon as I saw the pictures! Hell I'm still laughing.

Have you tried smoking any of these?

Dmntd

p.s. Thanks for the warning too!

I'm sorry for your loss but many gorillas who see this may be saved from suffering the same cruel fate. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting the pics Darrel.

I believe he has smoked one of the LGC's.

Besides - now y'all have an example of how NOT to vacu seal cigars.

It looks like at least one survived.

+1 on trying them anyway. Sorry to hear about your guys' loss!

Yup ... I smoked the least pressed one I could find (the rest were substantially more pressed). It tasted good ... but the draw was, indeed, a wee bit tight.

I like to use the sealed vac bags with NO vac at all. The sealed, inflated bag is quite crush proof.

Wow. That is a little scary looking. Maybe a loooooooooooooog term sleep will help them loosen up a tad as Omowasu suggested. Would hate to see them go to waste. Could always cut them up and smoke in a pipe perhaps if they never loosen up.

I as well am a scruncher. I screwed up early on in my vacu seal days as well. It only took one mistake though!

[replicant_argent]

uh oh...
I've been vac sealing my bombs lately, butI put a couple pieces of cardboard to take the brunt of the pressure, hope the gorillas receiving them didn't get jerky'd smokes...

[Nooner]

I too made the mistake when I first got my vacuum sealer...

I still like to use the vacuum sealer - I just don't vacuum before I seal.

I gently squeeze out all of the air in the bag I plan to use, then just seal the bag shut - fold over, and tape the loose end over the rest.

I think the seal is a bit better than a zip-lock(which I also occasionally use).
