How do you prevent a Cigar from burning to fast on one side?

Question

Can anyone help me with this. i have been smoking cigars for years and occasionally it burns fast on one side. i do rotate it when lighting it and use a simple butane lighter. I am looking for how to A) prevent it from happening and B) how to slow it down once i notice it has started.

Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

its called boating....what you can do too stop it is l**k the tip of your finger and than spread the saliva on the fast burning side of the cigar.

Answer 2

l**k on the side that's burning too fast!

Answer 3

Its called CANOEING, not boating, lol!

There are two causes of this - one is that it is underfilled/poorly rolled or it was stored so that excess humidity is exposed to one side.  Occasionally rotating your smokes in your humidor will help minimize this.

You could l**k the side that is burning too quickly or you could keep the slower burning side on the downside - it works!
