Most likely its the cigar, it may be too wet.
What many here do is store our cigars at 60-65% rH instead of 70% and this eliminates most of the burn and relighting issues.
A quick fix is to let the cigar "drybox" for a day or two before smoking it. Place the cigar in a unhumidified box for a day or two and it will dry it out enough to smoke.
Another issue I have sometimes is the humidity in the air. I smoke outside a good bit and in GA during the summers it can get a bit humid causing my smokes to not want to stay lit. When this happens I just put up with the relighting, what other choice do I have.
