3. Complete the cut while applying slight pressure towards the foot of the cigar. This prevents the dreaded ridge.

That is great advice Jeff. Thanks. Like I said, it isn't on all the cigars just a few. They aren't cameroons, I am pretty sure. I think they were stored too dry prior to me getting them and there are no oils left in the wrappers.
