    It happens. Doesn't look like it even needs retouching. These are handmade products, and even in brands like Padron you will occasionally get one that is less than perfect. I once had a Davidoff slightly canoe on me- hardly the construction issues I've seen with General Cigar brands, but it still broke up my idealist mindset about high-end brands being infallible. What you have can easily be the result of lighting it unevenly. You have to light with a perfect line if you want a perfect burn.

    That's what it looks like to me and I have a lot of experience with lighting cigars unevenly.

    I think the bigger issue is that you may need a refresher on how to use an ashtray.

    I never remember to take the pic before I light the cigar.

    I find that to be a common event and seems to be the result of uneven lighting of the cigar as opposed to the cigar itself... usually corrects itself or is easily fixed with a quick touch up.

    Now if the problem persists throughout the smoke... then you have other issues.


    EDIT
    Damn you Tobias.... beaten to the punch.
    Mr. Simpson, don't you worry. I saw an episode of Matlock in a bar last night. The sound was down, but I think I got the gist of it.

    I agree with the above. If you will rotate the slow side downward when you draw it will likely catch up.

    I know about that trick. Maybe I don't give it enough time to catch up?

    Mr. Jizzle, they are probably the only toes he has. I doubt he chose to wear the ugly ass ones.
