What's up with my Pinar Del Rio's

[tedp]

Whenever I burn one of my Pinar Del Rio's I can't seem to get the wrapper to burn. I'm constantly purging & relighting to get the outside to burn. I've kept them in different humidors at different humidities between 65 to 72% and still seems not to make any difference. Anyone else have this type of problem? I love these smokes, but this problem is really frustrating me!:angryteet

They seem to have inherent burn problems, esp the SunGrown...

I am with you there. I have smoked a bunch of these vitolas with no issues. I tend to have problems with torpedos no matter who makes it though.

I've only ha one (oscuro), by had the same experience--wouldn't burn to save it's life. I'm letting my others rest a while, an then will dry-box prior to smoking.

I had problems with a few robustos and Double perfectos, but I have not smoked a lancero yet....

I have only smoked once but I had burn problems too. I had to touch it up a few times which was a minor incovience. All in all it was worth it as it was a good smoke.

I have read several posts on other boards describing the exact same problem you are having.

I will fire up a double perfecto in the next couple of days and see how it goes.:cbig:

Damn shame, sorry to hear that. I've been lucky so far I guess, I've burned through a couple boxes of Oscuro robustos with little to no problems.

 

[Moro]

Lucky here, so I'm no good. Maybe yer humidity?

I believe they have now changed the binder to help remedy this problem on the Oscuro's they produce now. I believe that is what Abraham told me when I spoke to him, but he is on this forum so if he sees this maybe he can answer with 100% certainty.

Anytime I find a cigar that seems to have a wrapper that doesn't want to burn I make a note of it so that in the future I know to give it a good 3 day dry boxing before torching it for my smoking pleasure. Works for me.

I've never had an issue with any of Abe's stuff!

I bought a sampler, same problems, not one was an enjoyable smoke because of wrapper issues. I gave up on them.

Sorry to hear that my friends, all of you who had problem's please PM me with your address , the amount you have and a description of the problem also I need to know were did you purchase my cigar, this will help me track and fix any issues and I will replace them with my newer inventory.

ps:

I alwyas have a bizarre burn on them.... both the sun grown and oscuro.

Weird. I've had two double perfectos (clasico and sun grown) and a robusto (sun grown) and they all burned fine. I dryboxed them before hand though. The only issues I've run into is the wrapper being a little flaky.

Both of my boxes are from the end of 2008... got them mid year this year. The oscuros always seemed a bit wet...
