Dropped Cigar--Need advice on how to repair

[zeedubbya]

Well so I am once again straightening up a singles drawer when what do I behold?  A COROSupremos.  You can guess from the title what happened next.  'Twas like a slow motion moment.  But it's cracked bad.  About to go mow the yard so I figured why not make this my yard gar! 

 I know how to repair using cigar glue or pectin (thanks Prez), but would like others input on what I can do to make this smokeable?  Chuck wrapper and see what happens with just binder?  Just do it?  Duct Tape?  Thanks for your anticipated input.

Well this is just me, but I wouldn't do anything other than cut the cap and light that baby up.

Ouch...

it doesn't look like the wrapper is unraveling, so I'd think you could just smoke it and be careful about touching the cigar below the band. It might start to unravel as it burns, but you can keep touching it up with the torch and it should stay under control.

I guess perhaps you could consider some cigar glue but I wouldn't put it too far down the foot--just enough to keep it from unraveling further up the cigar as it burns. I think after about an inch, the cigar should smoke like nothing happened.

Keep the band on until the last minute to minimize wrapper unraveling.  Otherwise, fire it up.

I'd chop off the part that needs repair and smoke it from that point on. The torn chunk would go in one of my pipes. Lol.

I would just light it and pull the starter cord on that mower.   I've had wrapper splits remain stable before and the ash caught up eventually, but I've had them completely ravel and make a mess. 

One way to find out.

If either band is lose or can be moved/dislodged without further wrapper damage slide one of them down. It'll hold the spilt wrapper in place. Then move it up as you smoke.

Zane, 

Get some pectin from your local grocery store. Then find a donor cigar to get a piece of wrapper from, and cut it into shape to cover the crack. Use a very small dab on the back of the patch. The pectin is odorless and tasteless, and you don't need much, just enough to smudge the entire surface of the patch. Then affix the patch to the cigar over the crack. 

I've done this before, it works pretty well. It will be a bit wrinkled when first applied. Just smooth it out as best as you can and then let it dry for a couple of days.

Enjoy!
