A little help for a newbie

As Mazeman said, the dryness might a natural aspect of your cigars.

If the wrapper's pealing from the head while you're smoking, you might have either cut too much off of the cap, or you might have a dull cutter (possibly both). I find a good rule of thumb for cutting is to cut as little as possible. If you look at most cigars, there's a little cap peice that's been glued onto the tip of the cigar, the goal is to try to cut in the middle of that cap, if you cut past it, then there's not much holding the wrapper, and the dampness from your mouth could be causing it to swell and peal.

Also, personally i'm a cello off kinda guy, but either way, you need some exposure to the moister air. If you are keepin' the cellos on, i'd point the open side (you should open them, even if you don't take 'em off) of the cello away from the opening to your 'dor.

And if you can, i'd get a cheap little travel humidor, to keep your next day's smoke in. That way, you only open your larger 'dor's once a day at most.

You may want to try Heartfelt's humidity beads. They're supposed to be very good at keeping a proper humidity level. And make sure your gauges are correct...
