A great weekend in the Carolina's this past weekend, so I took full advantage. I was out on my deck enjoying a cigar, into the night. I wanted something mild, so I opted for a Grand Habano Connecticut that had been in the humidor for several months. No problems from the cutting of the cap, the draw, lighting, all normal. I noticed the cigar seemed a little stronger than I had remembered (and wanted) but it's still a good smoke so I continue on, watching TV, talking, etc. I would occasionally glance down and the ash was very tight and didn't break. But now I've smoked close to two inches of the cigar and I notice the actual "lit" part of the cigar is nearly an inch and half long!?!
I never seen the embers that long on a cigar before, maybe about half an inch with the ash much longer. I normally just let the ash fall on it's own, but I thought my eyes were deceiving me so I bumped it against the ashtray and sure enough, les than a quarter of the ash came off, the rest was all red, buring embers? What would cause this? Has anyone else ever seen this before and if so, was this something I might have done from improper storage? Note, I did smoke other cigars from the same humidor, all smoked well, no problems with tastes or burn and none had the almost two inches of fire!
Weird!
