Uneven burn after ash

[garryyjr]

Seems like lately my cigars have burned this way once the ash falls off.

Why would one side burn that much faster. Normally it is after the first ash.. Inch or more.

Uneven moisture.

How might that happen? Is there a way to fix it? Just seems really recent. The last 3-6 cigars I had were that way.

Were those all from your humi? Changing seasons/weather? maybe...*shrugs shoulders*

And a JLP isn't the best example.

[garryyjr]

Yes all from my humi. Weather/temp hasn't changed that much.

I don't remember the last ones I had. I meant to do it before. Just always forgot about it.

I just changed the set up in the humi.. Well mixed around the sticks yesterday.

any kind of wind outside? I get this when I hold my cigar too close to the window when I smoke in the car, the draft makes one side burn a whole lot faster than the other.
Also, what are you using for humidity in you humi?

What's the room RH?

[Mangyrat]

Try turning your cigars 45 to 90 degrees every now and then while smoking.
Some times they just burn uneven.

[garryyjr]

Very well could be wind. I try to hide in the garage but it has been windy as hell lately. My source is humi care.

No clue what the room RH is.. Humi says 68f with 67rh.

I turn them as I smoke.

You're letting the ash fall off on its own, right, not flicking or more than minimally tapping it?

When you notice it to burn uneven, try rotating the stick so that the part that needs to catch up is on the bottom. May seem counter-intuitive, but there is more oxygen below the cigar (as the fire hasn't consumed as much of it as it rises) so it will burn faster there.

[garryyjr]

Yes, I do let it fall off. I will see about putting in towards the bottom next time.

Happened again with the trinidad stick I'm working on now.

Smoking them too fast?

This may be a dumb question, but are you sure you have an even light to start?

Try giving the stick a slow steady purge, while rotating it. That should even it out.

Could be.. But I don't feel like I am. I will watch that more when I have my next one.

If it happens on the next one, I will try that too.

Thanks!

I noticed that you have shown us uneven burn and that the cigar is in its last third. In my experience I have noticed that many cigars seem to burn uneven during the last third. Do you have the burn issues the whole way through the stick or just near the end?

The Trinidad was in the beginning. Most of them are in the 2/3 or 3/3. Mainly I notice it is the 2/3 point.

cello on or off?

[garryyjr]
