No problem. I forgot to mention that I had a Heineken Light with it and it matched very well...

Also, I'll take pics next time I do a review. I just didn't think I would like it so much so I didn't grab the camera

Nice post. You never know what gems you might find at shops like that.

Did they have a wooden... ah, never mind.

Nice review. For uneven burn I've found that positioning the slow side on top and then gently purging the cigar for 10 seconds or so helps.

This cigar lit very easily and burned pretty even the first half of the cigar. The second half burned a little uneven but not too bad. I read somewhere that you position the cigar with the slower burning side down to get it to "catch up" to the rest of the cigar. This didn't work too well but maybe I was holding it wrong.

Nice review. You'll find through reading that everyone does reviews differently. I just appreciate someone writing down their experience, even if I never get to smoke one of those cigars. Good stuff.
I do second ashauler's recommendation, if the cigar is starting to burn unevenly, I put the unburned part on top, then leave it be for a minute or two. Not enough to let it go out, and I'll still puff on it while it's burning unevenly, but this way, it should eventually even itself out.

I don't believe this, though.

Thanks for the tips and the comments guys.

Regarding the uneven burn, here are a few quotes I found by doing some searching on the internet...

"First, you can start by rotating the cigar so the slow burning part is at the bottom of the cigar. Because a fire needs oxygen to burn, the bottom of the cigar will burn faster (as it has access to more oxygen) than the top. This is also why you should rotate your cigar as you smoke."

"Rotate the slower burning side to the bottom. The bottom side of the cigar will burn faster since smoke does not inhibit the oxygen from feeding the burn. This is an excellent technique for keeping cigars burning even, but may not be drastic enough to completely prevent running."

"Rotate your cigar so the long side is down. Placing the long side on the bottom seems opposite our instinct. I mean come on, heat rises right??? The reason for doing this is because the tobacco leaf (as with any fuel) needs Oxygen to burn. The greatest amount of Oxygen will be introduced at the bottom because the heat, and burned oxygen, is rising and passing over the top of the cigar."

What say you?
