Unbound
Unbound: "Another tip from the pros at www.cheaphumidors.com Has this ever happened to you? You open your humidor to take out a cigar to enjoy and you notice the wrapper starts to unravel. This is a fairly common problem with cigars, though it does appear to happen less with the better premium made cigars. There are really two reasons why this occurs. The first is that the cigar has become dry and the second is that it was just wrapped improperly at the factory. For the former, you need to ensure that you are storing your cigars in a well maintained humidor. So many people throw their new cigars in a humidor and start smoking them the next day. I like to tell people to let them sit and age for a while, rotate your stock and let the new ones age while you smoke the older ones. This gives the wrappers a chance to humidify properly. If indeed the cigar still starts to unwrap be sure to make a note of which brands it is happening too. If a specific brand is causing problems, it could be a bad production run and I would suggest talking to your tobacco store to ask for some replacements. If the wrapper unwraps at the lit end, then you can either let it be, or remove the wrapper. If unwraping at the cut end occurs, try to moisten it with your tounge. Since the wrapper contains most of the flavor, really try your hardest to ensure your wrapper stays where it belongs."
