Ive seen this myself,, dont know what the hell it is,, maybe a stem that burns hotter and faster,, beetle tunnel??? me and jj talked about this we think its not beetle related but stem tobacco,,unless the torcedors use a wire rod to roll and then pull it out!!!!!

I think it is a stem as well, this happened on a stick my wife was smoking and we put it out and pulled a long stem out of it.

This is tunneling....occurs when that part of the tobbaco is burning faster than the rest...you would know if it was a stem....a stem plugs...tunneling will cause you not to be able to get proper smoke off it until you get past it, the draw will remain fine although will feel "off" because of the lack of smoke...

Was the stick in question a male or female? If it was a male, I would guess the hole would be an azzhole. If female, well ..uh..then..you know.... You probably should have determined this before you started your, um, 'probing' (hi Enfidel!) . You may have just crossed the line there into uncharted waters. Anywho, good luck with all that.

Looks like your run of the mill tunnel to me. Always a bummer.

I commented myself on this phenomena in the Ratings & Reviews on the special dark, what you're showing looks very similar to what I experienced. I thought maybe it was a problem with the bunching process, except that didn't account for the wrapper not burning. The next one I had was fine after dry-boxing (which included no holes or drivers), but I suspect it was really just construction issues with the first cigar.

I have run into this issue before and it is very frustrating and will ruin a good cigar.

Had this happen half way through a Cohiba EL 2004 Sublime last night, was manageable but still clouded the enjoyment of the cigar and let me tell you boys this is not a stick you want this happening with lol...

I have the exact same burn hole on this undercrown that i'm smoking right now. But the hole is on both ends. Almost like the roller bunched the leaves with a gap in the middle. The cigar is burning fine and tastes good though, so i'm not going to worry about it.
