Bruised wrapper leaf?

[Jason C]

Hi my friends thank you for your guidance along the way of this new hobby. My question is in the photo my wraps are tight but the leaf looks bruised or permanently wilted if that makes sense. These are fresh made today. Will this bruising look on the rapper go away with time? Feel free to expand on the image to see details. Also please feel free to tell what needs improvement. Thank you

Any ideas on why the wrapper looks bruised or wilted? These are freshly rolled will this go away when it ages? Thank you

Perhaps some additional detail will help forum members to respond to your question.

[Bob's answer is, "I think your cigars look great. Just wait and see how they change."]

• What is the wrapper variety?
• How tightly were they squeezed into the mold?
• How long have they been out of the mold?

Weekends tend to be fairly slow for responses to questions.

I assume that these are freshly wrapped and the wrapper leaf was fairly wet. The color should even out after a few days of drying. They look great as is though - good work!

The draw is perfect and it fit in the mold without issue the wrapper is a Connecticut and they were out of the mold for 5 mins then straight to wrapper

Unlike wooden cigar molds, plastic cigar molds retain whatever moisture is in the leaf.

Improperly cased and waterlogged. You started with too much moisture, or added more moisture while there was still dampness, before the leaf had fully absorbed the surface moisture. Start with a very fine mist and don't remist until there is no dampness to the touch. That will get you the best possible results.
