Talk about chasing a dragon. Give it up dude, try again another day. I have had the same sort of experience lately, but it is too complicated to go into. I call them "bad cigar days", it's when you light up a fine cigar and it fails, it doesn't burn right, no smoke, sour smoke, bad taste. Then you can it and try again with another one - that one is bad as well, at what point do you finally decide that the universe really doesn't want you to have a cigar today? 20 bucks each and you've gone through 80 dollars worth of frustration and nothing to show for it but a full ashtray.
Things will be more clear with some distance. Fire up a bowl instead.
