Don Lino Africa Tembo, courtesy of ggainey (thanks, Greg!). Nice flavors, dark chocolate and a raisiny flavor that reminded me of port; but the weirdest burn I've ever had with a cigar. At about the halfway point, this stick tunneled for a good inch and a half before going out. The wrapper was intact, but wrinkled, so you could easily see the depth of the tunneling. Broke out the JetLite and ran it around the wrapper, and the cigar relit easily.
I did a bit of googling and apparently these sticks are notorious for burn issues, much like the Padilla Obsidian. I wonder if several months at a lower RH would improve the burn on these as well.
