Uneven Burn Advice...really?

Personally, if I'm having that much trouble with the burn and a touch up or two doesn't help, I'll just pitch it a light up another. I'm lazy.

I RARELY re-light a cigar..... I get a lot more ass flavor after I do re-light one... and that isn't my favorite flavor.

I have an uneven burning cigar once in awhile but a really tight draw absolutely kills it for me every time. Luckily at 65% I have not had any draw issues in awhile.

About the only advice that seems to work for lopsided burns is to turn the slow burning side down on the ashtray in between draws.

This does seem to help with the slightly askew burns but when it goes wonky by an inch or more, I generally find it to be a lost cause.

Unless we're talking a massive inch or more uneven burn, I don't care how it burns. The one thing that chafes me more than anything is a cigar that won't stay lit for 30 seconds on it's own though.

I'm almost at the end of a box of El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Larga, most of which have had "one sided" burn issues and I've used a lighter to even them up with no problems.

I had a lousy drive this evening with a Monte 4 that was clearly overhumidified. I should have thrown it in the drybox last night and didn't. Only my stubbornness (and realizing every stick in the traveldor was in the same condition) kept me from pitching it. Oh, and my cheapness too.

I keep trying to tell myself, when I cut it and do that first pre-light draw, if it doesn't "draw like a straw", put it back.

I DO NOT fight bad burning or bad tasting sticks. Too many others to pick from and life is too short for the aggravation.
