Shedding some light on split Tatuaje wrappers

[neoflex]

Just smoked a Face that spent two weeks in my Cab that I keep between 65-67 with 65 being the goal. No wrapper issues whatsoever and I smoked the thing well into the leaf that was applied for a band. I got scared in the first third as I heard a small cracking sound during a puff that is usually associated with the wrapper splitting but to my surprise no splits. The weather here was in the mid 70s with low humidoty so smoking conditions were absolutely perfect.
I do agree that the Rh of your smoking environment can play a big part also. I never ever smoke Tats or any Pepins for that matter in the cold. It never fails that when I do they just split and crack and than I end up having to nurse the rest of the smoke making it an unpleasant experience. That's why whenever I am forced to smoke out in the cold it's usually a cheap smoke with a hefty maduro wrapper. That usually solves the problem. If I plan on smoking at a lounge or some other indoor place in the winter I make sure to let my smokes come back up to room temperature before lighting them up otherwise you risk the same issues as being outside. When it's really humid I usually don't smoke outside either because at the midway point my cigar is usually a damn sponge and than tends to take on the taste of one too. When I do though I usually try to smoke nothing larger than a Beli.
