heh -- goody, if a cigar's wrapper is damaged/missing closer to the head of a cigar, i've been known to patch the "air leak" with scotch tape and smoke it anyway! 🙂
pectin sounds wonnerful. it goes on the grocery list now.
i'm shaking my head over a handful of cigars -- they look like they went through a hurricane and got big ol' splotches of wrapper blown off all up and down the length. *sigh* some sticks in my recent box pass had this kind of damage -- a couple were in their own singles bags; others were cello'd. it's just sad to see that happen to a good cigar.
