I've run into this issue a few times, but no one that I have talked to has even heard of it.

I get cigars that burn like a crater. The leaf in the middle burns nicely, but the wrapper refuses to catch a flame. I tend to light with a match, but but I don't get that on every cigar. The only way to get the wrapper to really catch is to smoke it for a little while, then flame the wrapper. It causes it to go up in flame and get caught up to the leaf...but then I miss out on the flavor of the wrapper.

I've gotten this on cigars I've stored in my own humidor, as well as when I buy and immediately smoke at my local B&M. Any ideas?
