Hoot brought up this method of saving your cigar. A product called liquid pectin, brands include Sure Jell and Certo that can be picked up at your local grocery store. This is used in making jelly and is like a natural glue with no taste. Try this next time you have a cigar with a split in it or it is starting to unravel.
- Get the cigar, the liquid pectin and a toothpick.
- Smear a little on the offending wrapper. Make sure not to over do it, Hoot says be careful though as a little goes a long way. You just want to stick the wrapper down, not make a jelly roll.
- Let it sit for a couple of days and your ready to go.
It might not turn out pretty but at least it won’t be trash! I would try this on an everyday cigar before you throw it on a $15 Padron! Thanks for the tip Hoot!
