I've had similar problems and that's a really good idea. I've been consciously trying to adjust my puff technique to help my cigars burn better and that's a nice trick to add to my arsenal.

Another observation I had is that the cigar that has burned the best for me also seemed to be packed pretty tight (CAO MX2). That may be worth noting when you smoke a cigar to try to guess how it will burn and what sort of attention it will need.
