I personally don't mind touching up a cigar if the flavor is great. In fact, I'd happily touch up a cigar a couple times if the flavor was what I enjoy in a smoke.
How about you? Do you care?

I've found generally that a wonky burn line is usually a humidity/storage problem rather than a construction problem, so I have a hard time knocking a cigar for an issue I probably created in the first place. A little waviness and an occassional touch up doesn't bother me as long as the flavor is on. Only if the burn is really out of control because of obvious fabrication flaws and it's affecting my enjoyment such that l I need to pitch the cigar will I say it had a 'bad burn.'
