crooked burn question

Post by atomross13 »

All of the cigars I have smoked for the last month have had a crooked burn. I keep my humi at 63% humidity and the temp ranges from 65-70. No matter which cutter I use or where I am smoking the burn from several cigar brands has been burning crooked. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening???

Do you smoke inside or out?

Inaccurate hygrometer, maybe?

Stop leaning to the right when you light it...

Put your hydrometer into a Boveda calibrator package and see if it's accurate.

I tend to pay attention to the burn on my cigar and rotate it to compensate as I smoke.

I find that if I take the time to toast and light it correctly that it helps to keep a straight burn.

I turn the cigar a little after every puff to try and not get a crooked burn, and still have trouble.
