Just trying some logic here. I am assuming it will not stay lit. Just because I would like to know all facts what is your RH set at.

Now, since you say 4 other brands are not having any issues and these are, assuming all cigars have been in the humi long enough to assume all have stabilized, I would rule out RH problems unless it is a situation to where these are put in the humi in such a way that they are not able to gain the RH as well as the others or gaining to much of the RH in comparison to the other cigars. Rotation, Rotation, Rotation.

Now, here is the thing, "Dry" things including cigars burn very well when dry. They tend to burn hotter and faster with a mucked up irritatingly strong and unpleasant taste and smell when to dry.

To much RH these cigars should taste bitter, even though the taste is still present at the beginning of a smoke but they are extremely hard to lite, very soft and you could very well endup with mold issues.

With all that said, If you do rotate your cigars, knowing all cigars in the humi are receiving the same amount of RH and these are the only ones having this issue then I would most likely assume it is the brand of cigars. That would be the only logical option left.

Not sure what "REPOSODO COON., HABANO" means, but if you mean CI's "Reposado" which I think is a.k.a. "Reposado 1996", in the salomon vitola, that they sell (or used to sell) in chests of 40 or something like that...

...they're airballs. Near-zero flavor. A few buddies and I tried a couple each. Verdict unanimous. Do not buy, waste of money.

If you're talking about a different cigar, then of course this doesn't apply.

I assumed they came with a black mask on each cigar like Zorro or Cartman on South Park in the episode "The Coon" Anxious

dang....seeing the title of this thread and the ID of the OP, I though we were gonna get some pearls of wisdom from the man himself...I always wondered if he ever found another cigar he liked to smoke besides the MOW PA...

Speaking of MOW, I just finished burning through one of the "MOW Anthology Sampler" 12-packs that I'd been aging since mid-2017. All 12 were very very nice with almost 2 years of age on them. Even what I thought would be the weakest one in the portfolio, the Legend, was excellent.

Yet another data point to support the "buy and hold" philosophy with MOW/Diesel/AJ stuff.

I have a very considerable quantity of this particular sampler, all from that same mid-2017 era, and I'm letting all the rest age more, because I keep remembering that 5-year-old batch of 2012 Diesel Unlimiteds I smoked in 2017 that were just thoroughly amazing. Much of his stuff seems better at 4 or 5 years than at 1 or 2.
