nub maduro?

adros

I tried this stick this weekend, and  must say it was great.  My only concern and the question I am asking is that about the last third the wrapper compleatly craked and looked like a roadmap.  I had this cigar for about two weeks in my humi. I am very new to this and wondered if it was something I'm doing wrong.  Of the past 5 cigars I've smoked three have presented problems.  My hygro reading varies between 68 and 72% daily depending on the time of day.  I am just concerned about ruining my smokes. Any advice?

Have you calibrated that hygro with a salt test? Could be that its not reading correctly.

no I haven't. I calibrated the one that came with my humidor and I bought a digital one and they read relativly the same. The guy at the cigar shop where I bought the digital one said that I didn't need to callibrate it.  I dont know if that is correct or not but like I said they read pretty much the same.

This one had been sitting for two weeks.  And I'm in North Carolinia so it not very cold. their is a 2% difference in hygros. I just hate to think I got this bad of luck with these things.
