It was a pretty disappointing way to end my evening. I knew something was wrong a couple of minutes after lighting the cigar. Barely any smoke production, draw was horrible, but the foot of the cigar looked even and fully lit. I let the cigar go out and then clipped off the foot. The very center was totally black and burned a good two inches down. I re-cut it down, re-lit, and unfortunately experienced the same thing.

I know rollers aren't perfect, but this is the first higher end cigar I've had problems with since I got back into smoking on a regular basis. Honestly I think the last cigar I had a tunneling issue with was an Oliva V lancero five years ago.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what specifically causes this kind of burn problem?
