Draw tool badly cracking wrappers

[jrfoxx]

Just like the title says. My cigars are kept at 65rh, but 2 times using the draw tool badly cracked the wrapper
Any suggestions?

Are they connies or...

Yeah, the different wrappers tend to have different strengths and thicknesses, some are more likely to crack than others. What draw tool are you using? The ones that have a little barb I think are the best as you can push it in and it will pull out a little tobacco on it's way out, so you aren't wiggling it around, just straight in and out.

Yeah, its only been an issue with one brand of Coronas. I'm careful to only poke the tool around the middle. It's a straight tool with a point on the end, no barbs.

Hey @jrfoxx
It would be nice if you introduced yourself.

Is it just this cigar that is cracking or that you have to use a draw tool?
i rarely have the need for a draw tool, like less than one out of every 30-40 cigars. Often it’s the same cigar line that gives me trouble indicating it’s a rolling issue. I wouldn’t expect that you would have to use the draw tool so frequently.

It hasn't been to often that I need the draw tool. Maybe 3 cigars per hundred
It only happens to a certain brand and I know that it is stored at 60 degrees and 65 percent rh, so they aren't dry
I just can't figure it out an I smoked plenty of tight draws without using the tool.

No expert but sounds like a rolling issue. How are you cutting guillotine punch v cut? Have you tried a different cutter?
