I haven't picked any up but I've been told you can get it at the grocery store or even Wal-Mart in the section with the canning supplies.

Make sure you buy unflavored fruit pectin...wouldn't want those cigars tasting funny.

How did this ever turn out? I've got a couple that need work.

ive fixed cigars with pectin before, it works very well. didnt affect the burn rate at all. just as a test I slathered it on real thick on a test cigar, it still smoked fine.

I got some pectin and used it on a cigar a couple of days ago for the first time. I had a friend at my B&M help me. He made a paste very similar to the kind when you do the hygrometer calibration with salt and distilled water. It worked great. You'd never know something was wrong with the wrapper.
