Maplepie Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Man was i happy to receive this stick...... Took it out and smelled it. But on the way of smelling it, i noticed a little something. Something quite eerie: I've never had one THIS intense before..... Anyone have the best idea to deal with this!?! To save this precious wee stick that would've been soooo good?

UpInSmoak Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm lazy.....I'd wet the head to soften the wrapper up, and take an extra long cut. Snip that cracked head off. Should still smoke fine I would hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 now i see why you're banned from Cuba -___- however, on the serious note of taping it: i do have cigar glue and cuban wrappers. if worse comes to worse, i'll have to tape that up with an exploded Cohiba Robusto Yep, that's what I'd suggest. On occasions when I pull off the band and a bit of wrapper comes with it I'll just pull off a bit of wrapper from the end of the cigar, moisten the area and stick the piece of leaf over the offending spot. Usually works just fine so I imagine if you take a bit of gum and some wrapper from another cigar you'd be just fine. Might want to put a bit rolled up into the crack before gluing the extra wrapper on too. Hope it smokes well for you when you do smoke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it smokes well for you when you do smoke it. keep in mind that this is the BINDER that has a full on inch that's crapped up. it will effect the draw and ANY chance i have of nubbing this stick...

cigarbreak Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 This might be an ugly solution but you can use a zig zag rolling paper and rip the glue strip off a sheet and doctor as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 This might be an ugly solution but you can use a zig zag rolling paper and rip the glue strip off a sheet and doctor as neededOh god NO! NEVER paper rollies! The method works well, but use ultra thin rice paper rollies and cigar gum for repairs. Paper zig zags will just make it taste like a cigarette.

garbandz Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 cut a long strip of wrapper tobacco wide enough to cover the crack and long enought to go around the cigar 3 or more times,glue it and enjoy. You may even fold a leaf or two and trim it to fill the gap before hand,unless the tobacco is pliable enough to close firmly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk05 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yes, like a flute. Might as well drill some holes on the sides and smoke it while keeping various holes open and closed through the length of the cigar. Who knows the complex aromas and flavors achieved by this mindblowing advance in smoking technique?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordAnubis Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Smoke it from the foot. Light the head and smoke from the foot. I smoked a churchill from the foot once (a friend challenged me to, andi was curious) and it was fine. The whole thing smoked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maplepie Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Is this an NC? That remains a negative. Here's a little link to Nino's site. Explaining it much better than I ever can http://flyingcigar.de/friends/201008-min-ron-nee-cigars-cifuentes-cristal-tubo/ Honestly, if it weren't for the price tag, I'd be cutting off inches and this wouldn't even be a thread, hahaha Sent from my BlackBerry Q10 using Tapatalk for Android.

Colt45 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'd agree with cutting as usual and covering the crack as best as possible with lips / fingers to try and get a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of a lassiez faire...Perhaps I'll try this and keep a wrapper on hand just in case! Sent from my BlackBerry Q10 using Tapatalk for Android.

Paper zig zags will just make it taste like a cigarette. Hahah, I should have thought of rice rollies lol but I would think that ripping just the strip of glue (from a rice paper rollie) and using just that to seal up for a good draw wouldnt be terrible as long as you pull it off when you get near it making sure not to burn it lol but then again it would probably be best to leave that kind of fix for a less rare smoke Goodluck with it!!
