then cleared up. But I'm here to tell you that it is quite
possible to ruin any cigar this way.

Especially with premiums like PAMs, I normally toast
the foot with indirect flame for a minute or two until the
entire foot is lit evenly. I love the roasted-nut scent it
creates and the anticipation.

Did you try purging the cigar after the light? If I get any bitterness after lighting I always purge.

Sorry to hear about the first one. May it RIP. Nice recovery though!!!
