Is it a common occurance for large ammounts of tar to build up while smoking a cigar? I have searched the topic and found that it does happen. As to why, there was much speculation. Some say the cure is to recut the cigar a little to remove the build up. What I could not find is the frequency of the occurance.
The reason I ask is that I had dropletts of tar coming out of a cigar. It was a La Gloria Cubana, Glorias Extra, maduro, 6.25x46. It was cut cleanly, not punched. About half way through I noticed a bitter taste. Upon inspection, the dropletts of tar were very visible and getting larger. I wiped some of it off but the cigar had to be tossed with about a third remaining.
Is this something that happens frequently? Is it a trait of certain brands or blends? This is the first time I have seen so much tar that the cigar could not be finished.
