burn line

In alot of cases, I find touching up a cigar BRINGS OUT great flavors.
DO I like a ragged burn, no I do not. Is it a terrible thing.....ehhh.

But certainly if you ever do a hot relight on a cigar that goes out very
recently, you remove ALL the gray ash and relight, it's like a whole new cigar
bursting with flavors for a good 3-5 puffs.

I just think a nice even burn looks better. Doesn't have to be perfect, but not a 1/4 inch difference from one side compared to the other. I don't mind touching up either. I think a good bit of the enjoyment from a cigar come from the visuals. Cigars are graded based of several things, looks included. I think looks play a role in how a cigar is enjoyed as well, the ash (color, structure, shape after breaking off), the burn, etc. Speaking of ash, maybe I'm just weird but I like a light gray/white ash that is slightly rounded after is falling off. Hate those spears points...lol Maybe I'm just weird.
