I've a question about ash burn characteristics. In general, if an ash burns
tapered toward the center rather than straight when the ash is bumped off,
is that a sign of poor rolling, cf. uneven roll, or too dry/too moist (I
doubt moist, as my humidor is between 65-70%), or what??

I don't think it's much to worry about if your cigar-cherry has a slight
"bullet" or rounded-cone shape. That's fairly normal. In fact, I think
it's pretty unusual to see a cigar where the ash drops off nearly
straight.

In my limited experience, anyway...

A "great" review is one with the name of the cigar before the review text
in the body of the post. :)
