Uneven burn question

[Bluesman455]

IMO the only cigars that have tunneld on me was my fault' for not puffing/smoking it at least 1 time a minute. [italy][rob]

 

any longer than that and the "cheery" will go out,then you have to puff and puff to get it glowing again,hence tunneling.That is all. [rob]

I've always just blasted the slow burning side with a torch lighter and gotten on with it.  That is, until I read this thread. 

Over the last few days I've really slowed down, turned the slow burning side toward the bottom and tried Bungalowbill's purging method.  What a difference! 

Puffing away to get a tunneling cigar going again only makes it bitter.  Blowing through it for 10 or 20 seconds gets it burning evenly again without ruining the flavor.

I love the knowledge I gain here.
