While these 2 had way too firm a draw until I performed the stemectomy, the other 2 were perfectly fine. For what premium cigars cost these days, there's no excuse IMO for poor construction. BTW this last one had 2 more stems in it, though not as large as the first one.
This is the second Valacari out of a total of 4 smoked that had a giant stem in it. Isn't de-stemming the leaves part of the process? Bad luck or shitty production?
