Burn issues on cigars

[Simon G]

rotate the puro as you smoke it.

Great advice Se?or Coro

In my opinion i think the cigar or cigars are over humidified then probably tightly rolled
then if punched the heat and and moist can't pass through the cigar like if it was cut hence the unravelling and splitting.

Interesting theory, amigo. Let me offer another - The consistency and evenness of the burn is affected by the BLEND of the puro.

Now, as we all know....not all puro leaves burn at the same rate, which is why the blend is so important.

I submit for you consideration, the possibility that a "bad blend" will cause the puro to burn uneven, better known as the canoe and/or tunnel effect.



At least, that's what I read on the interwebs.....so it must be true!!!

I think I'm with you on this one Tony...

Bad blending is certainly a reason for crappy burn issues. Badly kept cigars tend to have the problem throughout the cigar. In other words the whole cigar would burn slowly and be hard to keep lot of over humidified and would be harsh and fast burning if under humidified. So with that theory in mind Id go with Bag Boy. Of course I am only using an educated guess here. It could just as easily be both issues.
I guess if you had your cigar next to the humidification device it could be wetter in one side, hence the one and only use for a dog rocket, buffer.

In terms of the 'exploding' sticks in the thread, pace of smoking will have a big impact upon this IMO. Slow down, easy draws and going gently will improve this kind of problem. Cool weather is not a friend in these situations.

A bad/crooked/tunnel burn for a cigar ... Annoys me as much as anybody .

but consider this ... My '02 allones mille fleurs ... All of them Burn at a 45 degree angle not to mention they look like they were rolled by an 8 year old ... Yet they are sooooo good ... Blind tasting I would swear they were early el's . For this I will put up with a crappy burn .
