Cigars, especially the good ones, can cost a fair amount of money. To that end, a damaged cigar can be a very disappointing thing. Of course, it is only disappointing if one isn't aware of just how easy it is to fix them.

First, forget any notions one may be harboring about wetting the wrapper with one's tongue and sticking it back together in that fashion. This will not work. A glue must be used to stick the wrapper back together. The appropriate glue is available at just about any grocery store.

First and foremost, put the cigar back into the packaging to prevent the loss of any more filler material and to stop the wrapper from falling apart further up the barrel. Then, one must take a trip to the store. There is a product called pectin, a natural glue, which will enable the smoker to repair their stogie. Simply wetting the leaf and trying to reseal it will not work and it is necessary to use a glue to fix these problems.

The pectin will generally be found in the canning section of the grocery store. It may be advisable to just ask if one has no experience using it so that one doesn't spend all their time hunting around the grocery store. This material is a powder. It is completely natural and is safe for consumption. It will add no flavor to the tobacco when used to reaffix the wrapper. The repair process is very easy.

That's about all that's involved in repairing a cigar. Before heading off to the store, make certain to put the cigar in its original packaging so that the wrapper doesn't fall apart any more than it already has and so that no more filler material is lost. Using this method, just about any cigar mishap can be handled with ease. This will happen from time to time. Cigars are hand-made products and, as such, there are bound to be flaws. Most often, however, that hand made quality results in their typically very high-quality and, of course, the excellent flavor that results from a good wrap!
