Are these cigars salvageable?
Got these guys in a trade today...I think these two decided to commit suicide on the way. Any way to save them?
Thanks guys!

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
It never hurts to try.
But I would say yes to the top one and no to the bottom one.

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
If you cut the top one short at the cap it may work. The only drawback is you'll be changing the characteristics of the cigar...
The bottom one will be leaking smoke from the side and more than likely has the filler twisted a bit inside. That's the one I'd open up for an autopsy. |

Pectin is your friend. Also, if you happen to have another cigar (maybe it was plugged and you are giving it time) that can donate a wrapper, it's fairly easy surgery.

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
make tobacco ice cream with he bottom one.
make it custard style ice cream after heating and reducing the milk but before adding the sugar and eggs to temper the mixture, add in the crushed up remains of that unsmokable cigar and let it steep for about 1 or 2 minutes. strain, then continue to make the ice cream as usual. adding in the tiniest bit of bourbon and chocolate chips wouldnt be a bad idea either.

Also, you can have some fun with it and find an NC that you like of the same dimensions and take the wrapper from there to fix the bottom one, then use the pieces of the bottom wrapper to patch the top cigar. A spray bottle of distilled water and some patience is all you need to unroll a good capa from another cigar. Last edited by T.G; 04-03-2012 at 10:01 AM. |

If the OP does this, I would love to see a review of CC filler and binder with NC wrapper. |

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
for the bottom one even if you don't have pectin/extra wrapper materiel, you could probably even use scotch tape. if you can make it air tight at the point where it broke you can at least smoke it down to that point with a non-smokable repair...

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
Put them in a pipe and smoke them. At least the bottom one.

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
I would smoke them both immediately. Especially the bottom one. You can maybe get a 1/2 hour out of it before it falls apart.

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
I'd chop the end off that bottom one and call it a pc, but I'm lazy.
The top one, a little pectin would heal it right up. Otherwise I'd cut the top off of it and smoke it as is. Generally I save banged up cc's and give them to sofaman. He'll smoke anything.

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
If the other option is to throw them out, then just smoke them and see. The top one should be no problem.

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
I received a 98 HdM churchill that had a similar issue as the top one in your photo. I just peeled the wrapper off, up to the label, and it smoked just fine.

Re: Are these cigars salvageable?
Wrap some duct tape around the damage on the bottom one and smoke it till you get there, you just turned a Churchill into a robusto!
