Anyone else having problems w/ these smokes? I've sparked 2, and both had major tunnel issues that ruined the experience, ended up tossing both 1/2 way through. Nothing pisses me off more than a big $ stick that has faulty construction...
 
I always clip both ends to prevent that from happening. I used to get that very problem with every perfecto shape I lit. Clipping the foot will help you to get an even burn started. Worked for me anyway.

Gator,
It was around Christmas time. I had an Emerald sitting in my Humi for atleast 3 months. Went up to my local b&m(ovtc)to smoke it. The manager doesnt let people smoke this time of the year. So I smoked it out in the parking lot. Cold as shit. The emerald buned uneven as shit. JUst wasnt a good smoke for the price IMHO. I thought it might of been because of the wind and cold but Ill never smoke one of these again. The only reason I thried this one was that most people said the emerald was the best out of this line. Anyways that my story and Im sticking to it
 
All in all, I have smoked a couple of boxes of the Rubies(smoked 1 stick yesterday evening), they happen to be one of my top 3 smokes. Of this series, the Emerald is the only one I didn't enjoy. I would say that quite a few of them have had un-even burn issues, but I have never had one tunnel on me. Just a quick touchup generally fixes the problem.

I agree, for the price you would expect very few burn issues. Because I like them so much, I just accept the issues I have had.

Never had any prob w/ the red ones. I have tried 3 of the Emaralds and have a few more. The 1st one I smoked lit and burned perfectly but I could not get any smoke from it even though it was not plugged at all, the cherry would light up and everything but barely any smoke. The place I bought it from gave me another one. It smoked fantastic and I really enjoyed it. The 3rd one I had was exactly like the 1st. None of them tunneled on me though. I certainly wont be buying any more Emeralds.

If 2 out of 3 were like this, I have no interest in trying another one. Too many other good cigars out there, certainly by this company. The lady at the shop gave me credit toward another purchase that I made.
 
I smoked a ruby red yesterday and I had burn issues and wrapper issues. The darn wrapper started to really crack and peel. Not sure what the problem would be since they were stored is a humidor that is kept at 68% RH and 68 degrees. I smoked it outside when it was 45%RH and 78 degrees. :(
