Perfect. I'll definitely try that, thanks!

i got a box of the mx2 with about 6 left. i have had one with a draw problem, but after a littl more of a clip on it the draw was perfect. the mx2 is rolled like a rock and the draws are a little tight compared to some cigars but i like a firm draw (not a tuff draw).

other note is that with such a tight rolled cigar if it is to wet that will cause a bad draw problem. most shops keep there walk in a little high to help with people goin in a out all the time. i would hate to see u give up on a good stick.

Have smoked almost a box of these and never had a draw problem, but these are 3 years old so maybe they have had problems lately. Try the dry box method or clip a little more to see if that helps. It really is a good cigar. Don't give up on it yet.

I'll hang in there with the Mx2! I'll dry box it next time I get one or two.

I used to like these and the perdomo squared maduros...nice, sweet smokes.

But like with everything else CAO the persistent inconsistencies led me to stop buying them. That, and there are many choices in this flavor profile cheaper...some even better.

A good portion of my stash is maduro, and this does not explain why I only have issues with CAO lines (both natural and maduro). Quite to the contrary, actually.

I had a similar problem with a box of Romeo y Julieta Viejo cigars....I smoked one two day after receiving them and the draw was great..put them in the humi with 65% RH a month later tried smoking one and it was plugged...used the Henry tool that did'nt help much....Tried two more that I dry boxed for 3 days with no help...I guess the whole box is going to be bad.....
