How do you cut your cigars? If you take too much off the cap, there is nothing to hold it together. When I cut a cigar (excluding torpedos) I try to take off a sliver of tobacco about as thick as a dime, this keeps the cap structure intact but also allows for a full and open draw.
hey guys. thanks so much for the input. it's raveling at the middle. i should have clarified that from the get go. in terms of proper cutting, for the longest time i've cut below the cap. finally learned the lesson.
i'll just try to use that saliva method. before that, i'm going to re-calibrate my digital hygrometer.
kinda sucked. it just happened to my MoW Armada a few weeks ago. still a delicious stick though. just not very pleasing to look at.
Sometimes you just get a fragile wrapper. I've had it happen countless times where, through no fault of my own, the wrapper cracks in the middle and begins a slow unraveling. I don't know that there is really anything you can do to prevent this as you just never know when it will happen. Keeping my cigars closer to 70* has helped a lot in my situation, being in a more arid climate, higher rh is less of a problem in my experience.
