It tunneled bad, as in the wrapper didn't burn, just the filler (?!) When I re-lit, the wrapper caught fire and there I was driving down the parkway with a flaming torch in my hand. Got it out, but the cigar never did burn well.

So when I got home, I lay it in the outdoor ashtray and had dinner. Afterwards, I thought I'd try it again while taking a walk in the neighborhood. Again, the burning difficulties, and the wrapper kept flaming up on me. A half mile down the road I tossed it in the ditch. Perplexed I was, as I've never had any cigar burn that badly.

Happy ending

I lit up an Oliva Saison which is excellent!

Had that been me, when I tossed into the ditch that would've started a fire that would've taken all night to put out.

And even worse, that would've been the only cigar I had.

Just fired up: La Palina El Diarioo KB...4.25x40. This Cigar courtesy of Cardinal, smoked one at about this same time night before last, sure could smoke one of these anytime, Morn, Noon night...but this time slot, late evening,for a creature of the night is very nice match for this cigar. Don't recall the burn time for the first, but I'm certain these are not fast burning cigars.Intend to note how long this one burns for.

Edit: Perfect burn, no youch ups needed, burntime one hour twenty three minutes.

Started off the night with a Gran Habano Zulu Zulu Lancero. Delicious stick with sweet creamy notes, great draw and awesome burn

Hi Bruce,

I've had similar experiences with the Pinar del Rio Limitada, some burn pretty badly. Agree on the Oliva Saison, nice smoke and improves with age.
