Are these cigars salvageable?

Mark is wise.

Also, you can have some fun with it and find an NC that you like of the same dimensions and take the wrapper from there to fix the bottom one, then use the pieces of the bottom wrapper to patch the top cigar.

A spray bottle of distilled water and some patience is all you need to unroll a good capa from another cigar.

Thats a really interesting idea.

If the OP does this, I would love to see a review of CC filler and binder with NC wrapper.

I've made a number of frankengars and passed them around at herfs in the past. Sometimes they work out, sometimes what you think will work, doesn't.

Generally speaking, medium bodied NCs are the strongest you would want to use otherwise they tend to overpower the CC components. Nicaraguan or CT broadleaf wrappers over CC filer & binder tend to work well as do fuller/stronger CC wrappers (Bolivar, Partagas, Upmann, etc) over medium bodied fillers that are Nicaraguan or mostly Nicaraguan and a bit of Honduran tobacco.
