Hopefully I can get the images in here ok, but the other day I witnessed something I had never seen nor heard about. When I began smoking a Padilla Miami Robusto, I almost immediately noticed that the cigar seemed different from the ones I had before. The taste seemed different, the cigar was a little soft, and the ash was actually a dull brownish color. It is hard to see the color in the pictures. While I was smoking it, I noticed that there were two small black dots on the side of the cigar. When I touched them, they were extremely hot. I took one more drag and the black dots started to glow, so I went to get my phone as quick as I could and by the time I snapped the picture, this is what happened. These sticks have been resting for about a month, my humidor is kept at 70% and 72-74 degrees, these sticks were kept in the cellophane, and I have never had any problems with any other smokes. Because the cigar seemed different, I put it out and lost out on a $7 smoke. Has anyone ever seen this before, or know what would have caused this?
