Sounds like your doing everything fine. I had this happen with a Cusano Corojo, the thing came apart like it was spring loaded.

I agree with BPP on the Ashton vsg, I think that is Fuente's best readily available line. I also had an opus no. 4 the other night which was fantastic but I wouldn't want to smoke it every day.

If you want flavor but in a fairly mild package I would give the sancho panza Dbl. Maduro and Carlos Torano 1959 Gold a try.
