I just picked up a couple of LP No. 9's at a local B&M ... I noticed they had two boxes, both wrappers were dark, but one distinctly darker than the other, but both boxes just said No. 9 Oscuro. I picked up one of each to see what the difference is, and as I was inspecting the label, I noticed...

So I have had about four Fuente Hemingway's and on all of then, the wrappers are super thin and they come apart at the head. I punched a Short Story and had to smoke it carefully due to the wrapper I smoked a classic down to almost the nub when the wrapper stared to unravel from the head up the...

So, I just had my first cigar explode on me. I was enjoying a nice cigar and was excited to see what it had to offer. Then all of a sudden the wrapper started to split. what a bummer....! Just as I was really enjoying it. Why does this happen? What are the top reasons for this? bad stick...

Do any of you cigar gurus know when A Turrent quit selling their maduro wrappers to Camacho?

I need your help guys. I have enjoyed cigars for quite a while now, and I want to begin to understand cigars more in depth. So I figured where is the best place to start but the wrapper. So I started to do a little reading and became even more confused than before, I decided that there is no...

Only seen them online or in the magazines. What are they like? Decent one out there to try? They look odd (reminds me of the color of dried hay) but, for some strange reason, I would like to try one.

I have been wondering about wrappers and what they add to cigar flavors or what flavors the wrappers themselves have. So i was wondering if there was a brand of cigar that has many available wrappers. Like Don Thomas, or to a much chagrined mosaic from famous. I have also head nicks sticks...

OK, so this has only happened on two cigars so far, but it has me worried. After I get about 1/4 in, I notice that the wrapper about 1/2 the way in starts to crack. In one instance, it actually started to unwrap after cracking. My humidor fluctuates between 66 and 68, so I'm not thinking that's...

Thought this was pretty interesting... http://www.cigaradvisor.com/news/cigars/a-wrappers-contribution-to-cigar-flavor?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=EMN1503&utm_content=feat

i have a well built, glass front cabinet style humi with TWO 6 inch long humidifiers (one magnetized to the inside of the top, one is in the bottom) and my cigars seem to still flake ... i ordered a digital hygrometer, but i discovered after i ordered that its shipping from china... just my...

Anyone else notice that more smokes are being wrapped with thinner maduro wrappers? I have noticed certain brands that tend to unravel or are more subject to cracking. Oliva V, Cao Brazilia & Italia, 5 Vegas A & a few others with intermitent problems. I am not noticing these problems with other...

So I think we can all agree that Thompson's, well, sucks. Even though I will never, ever place an order with them they insist on sending me an occasional catalog. Just for s***s and giggles, I decided to check out the most recent one they sent me and take a look at what I found in the final few...

I am wondering if some wrappers are more prone to ambient humidity than others. All my cigars go into my humi (65% rh) for a couple of weeks before I smoke them. Here in Houston the rh is in the 80s. Tonight I chose a Torana Noventa to smoke (I smoke outside) and I could not get it to hit. It...

The following was written by WayneN (MRN) on a different board.... Anyone here do this, or have any experience ... Why Wetting the Wrappers Improves Taste. My New Theory. The "wetting wrapper"...

I was at the B&M today, and they'd gotten some Opus in. They have a ton at the moment, and were pretty stocked up before, but they had some power rangers that caught my eye. The whole bundle had wrappers that were noticeably darker than the other sizes. I bought 3 of them, along with some LFD...

Natural wrappers that are preferred over their maduro counterparts On which sticks do you prefer a natural wrapper over a maduro? First that comes to my mind is Fuente's Hemingway. I love the natural wrapper but heard so many great reviews on the maduro that I couldn't wait to get my hands on...

At first I was willing to write this off as bad luck... maybe I had some bad sticks or my palate was underdeveloped. But the longer I've been sliding down this slope, the more unavoidable this conclusion has become... I just don't like Corojo-wrapped cigars. I get a consistently unpleasant...

Am I weird that I like to take cigars apart and change wrappers around? I like mixing things up. I made an LFD lancero barber pole the other day using an Oliva Connie wrapper and a Rocky Patel 1990 wrapper and an LFD lancero I had laying around with a damaged wrapper. It tasted great but they RP...

Would someone point me in the direction of information on the different wrappers; dark, light?, Connecticut vs others, etc? A section of this site, another site, an actual BOOK, magazine, anything would be welcome. Thanks and enjoy, Jimmy
