Seriously though, don't let one experience cause you too much disdain for the smoke. Coincidentally, I had a wrapper split on the same exact cigar last night, but you know what? The night before I had a wrapper split on a Tatuaje Havana VI - Verocu Exclusivo Lado Occidental (West Coast).

I am curious what the smoking conditions were (not the humidor's conditions, but the conditions where you smoked it). In the wintertime/colder months, I often smoke in my garage, sometimes with a little portable ceramic heater blasting. I don't know if it's the cold, or the extremely dry heat the heater produces that causes wrapper splits this time of year, but it happened to me last winter, and I'm sure it will happen to me again more this winter. I try not to fret too much about it when it happens.

And, FWIW, of the six or so lines I've tried from Taboo, the LR Havana is my favorite. YMMV
