Impressive Recovery

I had to take advantage of their awesome repair/replacement policy and sent out my Xikar lighter to have the ignition system repaired. As a result, I was using one of those many boxes of matches I have received from Cigar.com or her sister site. The trade winds were kicking up a bit so with the three matches remaining I was only able to get about half of the foot of the cigar toasted and lit. Feeling lazy I decided to puff away and see what would happen. The burn corrected itself in less than an inch of ash. This brings me to my theory on humidity and air temp effecting cigar burn, but a few folks have weighed in on the topic during other posts. The cigar was a Cru Royale robusto by Macanudo. (A good cigar at a decent price, by the way, for those folks who got their start on Macanudo and then moved on.)
