Any of you have wrapper problems with the Cabaiguan Guapos?

[Panicbound]

I feel I keep a pretty good setup in terms of humi/temp. The Cabs that I have been smoking lately have really, really flaky wrappers. This is both at the cap and foot. I'm not noticing that with any of my other sticks. Has anyone had this happen either. These are not from the same batches, shops ,etc.:scratchhe

They are a very thin wrapper from my experience. What humidity do you keep them at?

I also have noticed that they have a pretty thin wrapper. My problem has been that the wrapper will sometime split or crack while I am smoking the cigar. Doesn't affect the burn or draw just kind of annoying.

It's about 69 constantly, sometimes hovering at 70. I think it may be the Temp, I keep mine colder than most.

I just had my first one of these yesterday, and really enjoyed it. I got it from a B&M at Pike Place in Seattle. When I cut the thing, it felt like I was cutting a sponge and I was worried it might have been too moist, and the thing really kinda seemed wet. However, it smoked perfectly. My guess is they like to be kept kinda wet. That said, anybody know where I can get more of these at a decent price? I might be willing to trade some Oliva V lanceros if anybody's interested.

I don't think it's the temp, I keep mine at 63 F.
If you take em out, and let em sit at room temp for a bit, never a problem, If you take fire to it right away, then there is a problem.

I agree with Danilo on this one and I might suggest lowering your humidity to the 63/65 % range.

all the ones i had have cracked but in their defense, i dropped the box with half of them in it on the ground so it's pretty much my fault. they do seem to have a very thin wrapper.

I don't think the humidity is a problem with these, I've smoked them out of 70% humidors with no issues... The big problem would be letting them come to temp slowly before lighting it.
I only smoke at a B&M, and when I decide I'm gonna go smoke, I pull a few sticks, and it's about 30mins-1hr before I smoke anything...
I keep it at 63F cause i'm not gonna spend money on an etc to keep my humi at 69-70F

They appear to be cracking/slash peeling in my humi though. That is why I thought my Mid 50 Temp may be an issue. It is not an issue with the taste...I'm smoking one right now:stretchgr
