Absolutely, Chuck....lots of us here have been using pectin for cigar repairs for many years.

Yep, good stuff Chuck.

While seemingly second nature to some of us, I've traded posts with and even herfed with people who are like "Whoa... you can do that?" when told about how to repair a cigar.

I'm lazy. I have pectin, but it has to be made into liquid each time. Hell with it, I say!! I simply wait until I'm ready to smoke the stick with the damage, then I simply lick the wrapper under the loose area, stick it back down with my saliva, light the sucker and smoke it. It's not like I don't already have my mouth and spit all over the tobacco (at the foot) anyway!

If the wrapper is heavily damaged, I just throw the darn thing away, and get something else to smoke. But, like I said, I'm lazy. Plus I seldom store cello and non-cello sticks side by side, I limit my handling of sticks prior to smoking them, so I don't have wrapper problems that often (Used to have problems a lot more when I was newer to cigars, because I DID store mixed cello with non-cello, and I did fondle my cigars way too much

There's that too, but sometimes you get very expensive or rare cigars that end up damaged and it's kind of tough to toss cigars you'll probably never be able to get again.
