that said. if it felt hot and bitter you're taking a puff too often. the rule of thumb is about 1 puff per minute. I too am a newbie to cigars but thats what i've been told and after i started doing it I was much better off. Try that out and let me know.

Also, since you didnt like the nub, did you buy more than one? If you don't want them, I'll take them off your hands.
It wasn't the burn time it was more the physical length. I tend to play fast golf so I don't sit around and chit chat much. I smoke while I play and the smoke from the cigar just got in my face because it was so short. That was probably the biggest issue. The flavor just wasn't what I was looking for either. I am definitely not saying it was a bad smoke, just not to my particular liking at the time.

I bought 4 sticks. Two were smoked yesterday and the other two went to the guy I was playing golf with. He seemed to enjoy them.

I will give the 1 puff per minute thing a try.
