What caused this weird burn? (Pics)

I would venture to say the roller messed up a tad and didn't pack enough filler in that area, causing the hole obviously, but also causing that side of the cigar to burn extra fast/hot. That would be my uneducated guess assuming you've ruled out both humidity and beetles

I'm still a noob by all means, but the cigar was properly humidified at 65% thanks to heartfelt beads and my coolerdor. I've just never seen a hole rapidly appear under the wrapper.

This would be my guess. Looks like an uneven roll in the filler. Good cigars are hand-rolled products and people make mistakes. You may have just had a bad one.
