Default Re: Flor de Oliva Robusto - Why'd I wait so long!

I figured a resurrected thread would be best for some questions about this particular cigar line. I am almost finished with the first bundle of these I have yet to try, the Sumatra blend. I was curious if any one else experienced any wrapper problems with them or noticed how delicate the caps can be. I have tried wetting the cap before cutting, punching the head, just carefully cutting the wrapper and leaving the filler intact, all with mixed results. I understand that these are "budget smokes" and also that wrapper appears to be particularly thin. I can live with that cuz I enjoy them for what they are. Should I consider storing them a little more humidified? I store them in a cabinet box I made from left over spanish cedar in a larger humidor that keeps 65% average humidity with beads and all the other cigars in this humidor, as well as these burn great. Are the corojo wrappers just as susceptible to cracking? I have only had a few that I had to pitch because they were unsmokable. Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated. I am not in the least bit unhappy,just curious what others have to say.
