It's not like it was a cheap cigar to my standards. It cost me $5.50. That's decent for me. But this also happened with a Trilogy Native Cameroon. What's going on?
The humidor room where I buy my cigars is kept at 75%. My humidor stays about 64%.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Probably was unevenly humidified. Hard to tell what happened in the humidor at the store. It's also possible some where between the distributor and the store something funky happened with the humidification. Plus, 75% is a bit on the high side. If it's kept at 75%, I'd give the cigar a couple of weeks to rest in my humidor before I would smoke it.

It could also be how its stored in your humi. Where was the cigar stored in relation to the humidification device? A consistent 64% rh should actually decrease burn problems, as long as it was evenly humidified.

If you have a problem like that again, I'd take the cigar back to the store and ask them to replace it. Most shops will do that for you (as long as you haven't burned it down to a nub). Only rarely have I seen a decent cigar like the San Luis Rey burn like that...
