Wrapper cracking

When cutting,try to only get the end leaf.Going too deep is a sure way to crack the wrapper,and dulls your cutter prematurely.
Also try to cut quickly,with a snap.A Palio is a fine cutter,and very sharp,you should be able to get the hang of it easily enough with practice.....

Also ,if you are going to smoke in cold or dry weather,consider wetting your cigar prior to lighting up.This makes a world of difference,and I remember a thread here about the proceedure,maybe you can find it and try it for yourself.........
