Having an Arturo Fuente Opus X Perfecion #2 with a glass of likker. About an inch or so in, the damn wrapper split half way up to the band.

Oh well, at least the whiskey is tasty.

As an FYI - sometimes (and I'm not sure if this is the case or not) when heat & humidity drastically change from storage to smoke area (i.e. humidor to outside at 20* lower temps) even the best sticks split. Too much humidity stored in the filler on the inside the cigar and not enough humidity outside the cigar.

Bummer it happened, but if you were outside...may explain it a bit.

The wrapper was already had a 3/4" long split when I took it out of the humidor. It has been in there for at least 6 months. I checked the other ones in that humidor and they are all fine. Some have been in that humidor for more than 2 years. The humidor is at 65%. Humidity outside was prolly about 70-80%. House temp is about 73 degrees. Outside was about 80.

If the wrapper splitting was at the foot, it was too humid/too close to the humidification device.

If it was up the cigar a bit...ya got me!?

I thought maybe you passed by a mirror, and took a good look.
