well ted, its because you lit the cigar like a moron.
I can say from personal experience in decades of cigar smoking, even if its a cheap cigar itll smoke just fine if you treat it right. The problem is that probably sat in the bottom of some assholes humidor for a few years, and isnt in the best shape - two things need to happen; it needs to be acclimated, and it needs to be warmed. theres a reason you warm the cigar before attempting to light it. it helps the leaves separate, and improves the airflow. acclimating gives it time to breathe and also improves the quality of the burn.
other big problems:
You only lit half of the cigar
you applied the flame directly to the cigar (which is a nono)
I would say the biggest problem are the budgets that keep passing, if Ted riles up American people to the sham that is our annual budget where we start electing better politicians with explicit promise to cut the lobbyists, if he does all that, I think we all can get our money together for the best cigars in the world for him.
ive got a few cuban RyJ churchill laying around somewhere i can send him, but he strikes more as a macanudo or cohiba guy. my personal favorite is the Churchill HYDM excalibur.
