Ironic that you made this post about this cigar. I made the long journey to do an overnight gambling trip yesterday. I ended up smoking 2 of the Punch rare Corojos (magnums) last night. Although not overly impressed, I found this to be a nice inexpensive casino cigar. I did not have the burning issues you mention, so I would have to side with the fact that your humidity level may be a tad high.
