I removed the celo from a 10" smoke yesterday and the wrapper started unravelling. I cut it in half and tried smoking it but it just kept unravelling until it was unsmokeable. Same with the other half. Was pretty disgusted because it was the only 1 I brought with me, figured I had 2 smokes and wound up with none.

They had been in my humi for about 6 months and the others that I got with the sampler are fine, (so far), in fact I'm smoking a 10" 5 Vegas maddie right now, thats good, (cut in half).

Almost bid on a mazo of 20 of these right before I smoked it , glad I waited.

Any ideas as to what might have caused this..was it a fluke ??

Thanx

So it was a Gurkha? Case closed. While not all Gurkhas have wrapper issues, many many people complain about wrappers splitting/unraveling. 🐴 Gurkhas are the reason I never bought a Rolls Royce. I mean, with so many issues with the cigars, why would I want that in an expensive car? [sarcasm]

Good one

Actually, just smoked another gurkha out of the same sampler and it was fine, the other was like it came out of a tomb and crumbled into dust

fruit pectin is what the rollers use to make the wrapper stick. the powder is easy to buy and you mix with water. just google.
