That is it in a nutshell. Short filler doesn't create a hot coal, and what heat it does generate is quickly lost. Charring and then burning a super heavy maduro wrapper takes a whole lot of concentrated heat to be held against it for a long time, otherwise it will never char, and once charred, not actually ignite. Lots of cut filler cigars that I have smoked wound up smoking so cold that the filler itself burned and left an empty wrapper. It's like smoking a pipe. It's most common with maduro. Candela wrappers on a few mixed fillers I have had never tunnel.
