how does one fix a crack, that starts 1mm below the cap and runs 1 inch up the body of the cigar? should i wrap an "EZ Wider" around it or is there a better method?

Order a patch kit from OnePyroTec. Visit Silver State Cigar

i ended up doing the simplest thing possible. I moistened the cutoff from a cohiba piramid el and used it at a patch. Worked perfectly, sticks like it grew there.

Glad you got the problem fixed.

What I do is to take some liquid Certo (find it in the baking section or canning supply section of the supermarket) and a small artist's brush (I use a cheap, fine bristle one from Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc) and just paint the crack with it. Let it dry and you're all set. This works for loose wrappers as well.

Certo is basically the same thing as what's used to affix the wrapper at the factory, so it won't hurt anything, and doesn't add any flavor whatsoever.

Yes, use the Certo it's just pectin.It's almost the same stuff they use in the construction of the cigar.
