Help - suggestions

Any idea what I can do for this before cutting and lighting up? I feel like this sucker is going to come apart in my mouth before the first third is done.

Slather that sucker with spit and light it up! That's what I do at least.

Lol, will give that a shot then. Just never had any success with splits not getting worse during the smoke.

They do sell repair glue. Some folks use that, but yeah most just use slobber. If you want to get fancy you can try to figure out which side is peeling away and try to rub the slobber in a direction to reunite the sides.

Another vote for the slobber method!

Use a punch cut for that smoke. Also - I keep a bit of gum arabic on hand for such an occasion. Scotch tape applied 1/4" down from the cap has also been effective.

scotch tape?

scotch tape?

Yeah, it sounds crazy but if I know in advance the cigar isn't gonna be a nub burn due to damage I'll cut a piece of scotch tape in half and then tape down the damaged wrapper 1/4" down from the cap so my mouth never comes into contact with the messed up wrapper (no further damage accrued this way. Keeps the damage in check until the cigar is done.

No joke, I just slobber it up. I've never heard of the Scotch Tape method but that is a great idea as well!
In the end, I just suffer through smokes like this. It's a terrible situation.

Scotch tape?...Brilliant!!

I would have never even considered this but it makes a TON of sense. You're not going to smoke that part of the cigar anyways so you're not going to lose anything, just salvage what you can. As long as you place the tape high enough so it doesn't rub against your lips while smoking and remember to put the cigar down before the cherry gets to the tape line it sounds like a perfect solution!

Another thought is I have a 3-prong nubber. Thought about jabbing that in from the start to kind of "stitch" things together so I could get through most of it.

All great suggestions though, thanks for the input.

works well for me, as said dampen the breaks, insert into mouthpiece. Maybe slide the band down to complete the seal
