Punch After Dinner Maduro - Brief review and Question

[SteveH]

Gents,
After hearing about these; I picked up two sticks. Granted; they're short filler - but the price is right; especially for a churchill size stick.
I lit it up and got some excellent coffee, chocolate, and creme flavors..Burned well; but naturally the ash would jump off after 1/2" or so.
However, about 1/2 way through the stick it was not staying lit. I finally got it going again and got strong ammonia
By that point, I was done fighting it and put the stick down...But I got to thinking - being that it was short filler; I wonder if I would have lobbed off 1/2" or so if I could have gotten past it ? Also, being that the 2nd stick I got is from the same box is there a good chance that one maybe skunk'd as well ?

Thanks !
