does your cigar ever fizz?

So I have noticed some times my cigars will fizz for a second during the draw. Like the sound of spit on a red hot poker. It seems to be with cheaper sticks. I wondered if it was just a mixed filler thing, or maybe a little dead bug going bye bye in a blaze of glory/smoke fumes.

    Fizz? I know beetles go with a POP. A fizz sounds like some really quick-burning tobacco. Short filler in the cigar, maybe? That or the tobacco's dry.

    I know some guys like to think that's the sound of beetle eggs burning up. Know clue what causes it, but I have had it happen on all kinds of cigars, inexpensive, premium, mixed filler, long filler...I doubt it matters as it probably has to do with a natural occurrence in the construction of the cigar.

    This usually is a vein catching, and "running", where is burns ahead of everything around it, because a vein does not burn the same way as the flesh of the leaf.
