Now I just don't smoke them.

This is exactly what I've done. And, I don't smoke them fast. I never smoke outdoors in the winter. Too old for that. I smoke them in a heated shop. Another stick I buy on a regular basis from the same retailer is the Diamond Crown Natural. Similar in construction, and have never had an issue with these. I think that somewhere along the cigar food chain the problem smokes were mishandled. At least the batches I've received. These are too expensive to just toss, so I think I'll just quit buying them too.
