Whats up with these sticks? They are in a bundle with some others. All the others look normal but these look all jacked up.

    It looks like a Cuba peso cigar. They have a binder and filler but no wrapper.

    Have you been  letting DZR play with your cigars?

    It had a wrapper and binder. Didn't look like beetle damage.

    Are those dry-cured cigars?  They don't normally go in the humidor, IIRC.

    I would still try smoking one. If it stays together and tastes ok.

    Yea the rest are fine. It's just weird. The wrapper was way darker than the rest and looked odd.

    Using a cutter made for bigger gauge cigars will do that. Theres not enough pressure, contact surface area on the sides by the cap and the part of the cigar that the blades are cutting basically pinches the cigar down causing it to split like that. You can get away with some small cigars and a bigger cutter by holding the sides with a little pressure up by the cap to compensate for this, just be very careful not to slice your finger tips! Best to have 2 or 3 cutters for small, medium and large gauges.

    If it didn't crack when cutting, I'd go with humidity too.
    Especially if you went from inside and air conditioned building to the outside.
