    Yeah, thats exactly it, Bob. In my case with the camacho, it wasnt overly humidified really, but for that much maduro in one cigar it was too wet to keep lit. Ive had similar problems with AB tempus may or may not be related. In short, it needed dry boxing.

    Thanks, guys. I kind of figured it might be the humidity, but usually, I notice a problem with the draw when I have one overhumidified. It was a great, rich, candy bar of a stick what I did get to try.

    I think 71 rh is a problem but windy days means small ash and that doesn't help the burn at all!

    Maye there was a small hole in the cigar somewhere like a space in the wrapper and binder or just a tiny hole that may have been poked in the cigar? If that's the case when you take a draw you'll suck in air through that hole and not through the foot of the cigar and therefore it'll go out. It happened to me once... I had to keep my finger over the hole to keep it lit.

    Try "dry-boxing" the next one, see what happens.

    A draw issue with an AB cigar? You don't say... They are like the Gurkha of draw issues with the Prensado. Had this issue so many times with that line I lost faith man. Went through two boxes of Black Market, had to pitch way to many.

    Hmmm. I hadn't seen this mentioned; then again, I didn't look up a lot of reviews. I knew the cigar had some high ratings, but I did not seek out the reviews to avoid hype-bias when I tried it. I disliked the Black Market so much that I won't smoke more than the two I've tried. I did like the Prensado's flavors, though. I'll try it again, but if this continues as a problem with the line, well...

    Draw issues huh? Bummer I haven't had one yet but I got two of the large figuardo's resting. Was waiting on the cold weather to be a or so I could enjoy it outside. I'll be sure and dry box it before I smoke it.
