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?

My guess would be that they are too wet. Try dry boxing your cigars (box or humidor w/no humidification) for a few days before smoking them.
