Basically this:
With the cold dry weather (if you puff outside like I do), cigars wrappers tend to unravel or split / crack. What Wilkey suggested is to turn on your faucet to a light stream and place your cigar under said stream for a few seconds, just enough to get the wrapper lightly damp. Put the cigar on a piece of paper towel, and blot dry. Viola, no more split wrappers, works like a charm.
...or you could use the Moki technique and put astroglide on the cigar and Lewinski it, whatever you prefer.
Hope this helps,
Rob
Just to add to Rob's explanation.
Do this BEFORE you cut the cap, with the head facing up so no water finds it's way into the foot.
I prefer to use spring water, from a bottle is also good. If I pull out a stick and the wrapper looks fragile in any way, I run water over it, no matter what the weather is doing. Prof Wilkey, is not a Prof for nothing.
