Ok I have a question.... I have smoked cigars that produce alot of smoke and those that produce very little, I prefer the former. The thing I have noticed is the cigars I buy with the bigger ring sizes dont draw as well and I have also noticed that I have to relight multiple times. Is it something I'm doing. Is it the cigar. The two I am speaking of is a CAO, and a partagas black which I thought were quality cigars.

the larger ring guage cigars burn cooler so if your not puffing often enough the will go out on you quicker than smaller ring. at least i think this is correct.

Sounds like your cigars might be a bit on the damp size. Check your humidity levels. You might also consider dry-boxing your cigars prior to smoking.

Dry-boxing = putting cigars in a empty, non-humidified, wooden cigar box 12-24 hours prior to smoking. This will dry out your cigars a little - making them easier to smoke and keep lit.

Yep!

Usually larger RG cigars draw better..thinner cigars tend to be packed a little tighter. Definitely sounds like an RH issue.
