Cracking wrappers

ShadowInTheMoon · April 2014

I have had a lot of my cigars that once you light them up and start smoking the wrapper is cracking about mid way. My humi is sitting at %65 right now. Is there any thing else that can cause it to crack or a way around having them crack?

What kind? I only ask as it is common with some brands. Normally I would say this is high rh or fluctuation of rh. This may happen with cheaper cigars as a stem burns and the filler expands as well. Pretty much every time I have dissected a cigar that explodes a stem is involved.

slow down. any small unseen cracks will be exacerbated when smoking fast.

At the first hint of a cracking wrapper if the band is lose enough I slide it down to about a 1/2" from the crack and just keep moving it up as I smoke. Or I take it off and use a piece of scotch tape on the band so it's lose enough to slide. Or a small strip of paper to make a homemade band.

Could also be that the humidity is a lot higher outside. Try dryboxing or letting your cigar sit out for a bit. Also like kuzi said you could be smoking too fast. I use to have my cigars split too, and the fix was letting them sit for a bit outside of the Humi. I too keep it at 65 to 68, though I've moved it to a steady 68.
