wrappers

monk

why are the wrappers on my cigars splitting after i light  them . my humidity is between 65-70% at all times. i rarely smoke them under 6mos. in my humidor. i'm thinking my hygrometer is wrong, plus this is happening only to the light colored wrappers .

I have experienced the same problem if I smoke a cigar to quickly, it will heat up and crack in the middle, it could be that or the humidity problem joe mentioned. any other suggestions ?

I can't think of anything to add to what you guys have already said. Well, not anything helpful, anyway.

Hey Urbino ... What's going on in the land of the " king " tonight ?

sometimes its the humidity difference between the cigar and the air. is it very dry out where you are? or overly humid?

Where are you cutting your cigar? If you cut below the cap it can start to unwrap.

good point. however i took this question as the end thats lit is the end that splits.
