Cigar fell apart - what happened?

[JCK]

Ummm, my guess is that leaving it in the drawer for a few months totally dried out the wrapper and cigar. The cigar will unravel and come apart on you if it's that dry. I've experienced this myself with cigars handed to me to smoke that I knew weren't kept in a humidor.

I really do not think it was a cutting issue.

Nah, I never destroy property on the first shot. Just felt bad your stick was destroyed. A few everyday smokes that you might enjoy.

I must warn you. Retribution will be swift and unreasonable.

Will post pics when it hits. And here I am with no room in Humi...I guess that means it is time to go shopping?

Just got my ebay blue light special humi. I think the shipping was more than the box! Ii claims 150 smokes but that looks doubtful. Anyway, for a starter kit, not a bad deal @ $20.

I think I am leaning more toward a coolerador...that way i can leave the bulk in the cooler and keep a few for instant consumption in the humidor.

Thanks for the info though.

Sound like good "Gorilla Logic"!

In retrospect, leaving it in a drawer for a month was probably not a good idea at all. All cigars will dry out in a matter of days if left in an unhumidified space. Hope you have the humidor up and running efficiently so it doesn't happen to any more of your sticks.

In my experience, if a cigar dries out completely and you rehumidify it, it will become smokable but it will permanently lose much of its flavor. Not the nicotine, just the taste. It will taste so mild as to be unsmokeable (the few times I have tried it)
