Wrapper Issues

issues · 02-11-2010, 09:39 AM

I would guess the wrappers are a bit too dry.

I will sometimes wet the head of the cigar before cutting if it feels like it may splinter and it has worked for me.

Other than that I really don't know what the problem could be...

I like to moisten the cap on any stick I am getting ready to have, and let it sit for a minute before cutting or punching. I do this this to every-one regardless of weather I think its brittle or not. I have not had a cap split in a long long time. Give it a try.

I will thanks. I will also try the wetting as well. I am curious as how it will change the flavor profile.
