What to do now?

Is it common for this effect to be more pronounced in natural wrappers than in maduro's of the same ring guage?

[nhcigarfan]

yes, natural wrappers are generally the softest, thinest leaves with the smallest veins and therefore more delicate.

Thanks for the help everyone!! I appreciate it.

I just learned some things that I didn't know. Thanks for the info.

NHC is dead on. I can only add that the thinner the wrapper, the more pronounced the effect.

Some cigars have wrappers that are so delicate, that even with correct humidification, they may split due to moisture loss that occurs while you are smoking them, if you live in a low humidity area like I do. Perdomo Edicion de Silvio, that new Lito Gomez Mysterio, and a couple of others almost always split on me to some degree.

And in the opposite direction, some wrappers are almost bullet proof. I have abused Padron maduro cigars horribily and never had a problem.
