I am having trouble with picking the correct leaf for my wrappers. I am getting a tunnel burn on most with the wrapper turning black on the outside of the cigar and not turning into ash. I have even tried drying them out on top of my dehumidifier for several hours and have let a few sit for months but I am getting a few that burn good but dark ash and the majority are tunneling even when dry or I think they are dry. I have been trying to use lower leaves that are thin but most of my leaf is very thick. This tobacco is from 2012. I am using Havana 608. My question is what can I do to make a better wrapper either on the growing end or processing end. I need to learn how to pick the wrapper leaf from what I am growing that will burn good with a lighter color ash..
