Hi, I am relatively new to smoking cigars(about one month). I recently picked up a few A. Fuente cigars to sample a few. I do not have a humidor so i only buy 2 at a time, for now, and leave them out and smoke them either the same day or the day after. My question is this: If these cigars burn unevenly is that a sign of the store keeping them too dry? I bought one AF from a different shop and it smoked perfectly, in taste and even burn. The ones from this shop seem to burn randomly and do not have as full of taste. Here is a picture of what i mean.. Uneven Burn This has happened with a AF Chateau Sun Grown(pictured) and AF Corona Imperial.
I am curious as if i am doing something fundementally wrong or should just stop buying from this shop. Sorry for the long post, thanks in advance.
Could be a humidity or a construction/rolling problem... Was it burning ok to begin with then became uneven? If it started off that way it might have been an uneven lightng job. I found that a good number will fix themselves with a little time. If you don't like it just use a butane lighter to fix it up a little bit. You can also rotate the slower burning side to the bottom. Some say that works...
