Please expand on what type of pipe should be used. (i.e. crack, lead, poly, tobacco) 🤔 🤔 🤔

but a crack pipe should work.

WHY NOT TRY TO RE-ROLL IT IN ANOTHER WRAPPER?

TG does this with lots of different combos...

LMAO!

That's good.

True, while I've never done it with a half-smoked cigar, I don't see any reason you couldn't. You would just want to smoke the cigar within a few hours of replacing the capa or it's going to taste like a briquette and your efforts would have been wasted.

Adam, I'm under the impression it came from the bowels of his humi already in the exploded format.........but I could be mistaken!

Oh and what a BUMMER !!!!!!!!

Yeah, on re-reading the earlier post, I think you might be right.

That makes it very easy to fix then.

It really just depends how badly damaged the wrapper is, but the OP might just be able to get some liquid pectin and a new artist's fine/detail paintbrush and carefully put pectin between the wrapper and binder and under the overlaps of the wrapper around the damaged area, wait for it to dry and smoke it.

Carry on...

I've heard of the glue, but the local B&M doesn't have it. Do you think that if I dried it out to shrink it get out the moisture, then try to glue it that might help. I really don't know to much about the glue. A humi-disk that came with the humi leaked from a crack and didn't find it for about two weeks. I know, I'm a bad care taker, but hey thats why I'm a NOOB.

I wouldn't suggest drying it out to shrink it. Compressing it would be a better choice.

I wrote the post you quoted, not Anth. Anth wrote "WooooHoooo" "Whuuuuut" and "pack it in the hooker" errr "hookah"...

Anyway, pectin is typically used as a gelling agent. It's what is used for setting jams and jellies, you can find it in the supermarket or wal-mart (etc). Usually found where they have canning supplies.

Here are some photos of the more common brands:

If you get the liquid, you can store the excess in a small clean glass jar. If you get the powder, you just mix what you need for the repair.

Typically, the liquid with a brush is easier for most occasional users. Using powder results in more of a paste than a liquid glue and this means application with fingertips and can take a little bit of practice to know how much to use and how far you can work the wrapper without damaging it.

Drying the cigar before applying the pectin is the last thing you want to do. If you dry the cigar, the wrapper will become even more brittle and you run the risk of causing more damage in the process of trying to repair the cigar. Ideally, I will mist the cigar down with a spray bottle of distilled water (I've even dumped bottled water over the cigar, cap end up, at herfs when I don't have a spray bottle) and let it soak in, then repeat this a few more times to make the capa pliable before a repair on an important cigar. Then, after the repair, that's when the cigar is allowed to dry.

Thanks for the tips on the repair, I will definitely look it up. How about getting it compressed so it can it glued?

:-k 🤔 🤔
