So I was at a bar this past weekend with my wife and friends. I happened to be smoking a Tat Verocu West and just got to the last third . I put the cigar down to go grab another beer and when I came back the cigar looked as if it had exploded. The wrapper became unraveld at the foot. Was it too dry or what? I had purchased it at the local B&M on Thursday and promptly put it in my humi. I have smoked others and never experienced this happen with any of my other cigars. Any thoughts?

Pity those poor guys south of the equator. Instead of unraveling, their smokes tighten up.

Thanks, just what I wanted to google and try to understand on a Monday morning.

Doc, I had no idea you were a psychic. You been studying?
Yeah, they have a box with about 10-15 left. I don't know if they have more boxes though.

I think the culprit may be the corojo wrapper. DP's blue label did that to me before and also the black label figurado. I used to have them sitting at a higher humidity before, about 68%.
From what I've searched here before, Don Pepins stuff should be 60-65%. Maybe that Tat should be stored at the same humidity? I recently had a blue label churchill at 65% for a while and it smoked to the band without splitting.
All these cigars have corojo wrapper in common, maybe that's why it did that, just a little bit more humidity while at the store plus the humidity you added while smoking gave it all it needed to "bloom". OR, you could have gotten the extra tight one that a virgin rolled on their thighs :love: preferably female :laugh:
