Fragile wrappers

[Nature]

Connecticut wrappers are most fragile.
When they are grown in the shade, the leaves grow thinner and lighter. I wonder if there is an optimum RH for connecticuts? It seems they are more prone to cracking if either too moist (expansion of cigar) or too dry.
Could be running in circles on this one.

Right up there with Cameroon. Mark nailed the biggest mistake/ misconception people make (self included) is that their cigar is too dry, so it cracked. But adding rH is sure way to guarantee a split as you smoke it.

Try dry boxing for a day or two next time and see if you experience improves.

Bottom line is its a fragile wrapper by nature, so you're behind the 8 ball to start.

Beat me to it.... Cameroon is up there also

I find Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers to be a bit more resilient.
