Watch for tar.

Smoke slower and/or cut a bigger hole - or so they say.

Or properly ferment the tobacco.

Not sure if it's the fermenting or adding of chemicals - I've never had a cuban tar up on me while plenty of NCs have across many brands.

Generally tar means the tobacco was not cured properly.

It can, but I think there are usually other factors to blame.

Man this work shit - get outta my way, need some silver stars!

Tony will change the criteria again once you get in the 9000s. 

I was just thinking the same.   

Thinking about swapping the platinum (calling it silver) and gold.

What's after gold then?

Diamond encrusted bronze.

Coincidently, smoking a LGC Serie R and getting some tar.  Use the Xikar 11 mm punch which leaves a recess and the tar is accumulating on the exposed filler in the recess which is at least 1/4 inch below the head.

Hiya Mike.  I've had that happen to me with punch more than any other cut.  When it does occur, I usually take a guillotine to it and the problem goes away.  By the way, I have absolutely had that happen to me with a Cuban cigar.

Done.  I like them now.  No more changes.

I get the feeling that tar occurs when the tobacco was not cured long enough.  Gots to ferment the tar and nicotine out of the tobacco.  Oh, good afternoon Tony.

Diamond encrusted bronze.

Encrusted with something, anyway.

Suffering, and the Ibuprofen ain't hitting it. I'm gonna go take a power nap.

I agree.  Tar and/or ammonia suggests something was rushed.

I think it's happened to me once with a guillotine, 99% of the time it's with a punch tho.

Agreed - maybe what I Was getting at was more of the chemicals that are used on NCs. Like Drew Estate uses a 'fermenting juice' they have some name for that they spray the leaves with, essentially a fermenting liquid and a dye.
