Torn wrapper leaf? Go to Office Depot....

Show me someone that hasn't dropped, mis-cut, or manhandled his cigar resulting in a torn wrapper leaf?  We all have, I have a horrible case of the dropsies; about a year ago I dropped a $20 Graycliff, which made me more angry than sad, or was it more sad than angry?  Either way, I was pissed, which happens when I am both sad and angry.  So as I am staring at this once beautiful cigar, it now looks like a decomposing body.  The wrapper slipping off like the skin of a body sitting in the Everglades for 3 summer days.  Not to mention the dent on the end of it, like a bumper that got nipped parallel parking.  I took the cigar back to my office and tried to work, looking at it from time to time. 

First thought I had was to maybe just pull the wrapper off and smoke it "ala Binder", then came the the pissed feeling again, so I got back to work.  When I walked over to get some Cuban coffee I noticed one of the secretaries making and sorting copies.  Every few pages, I saw her dip her finger tips in a little case.  I walked over, made some small talk, and asked her what that was? 

She said she that she hates the feeling of the copy paper on her fingertips as she sorts them and couldn't stand bringing her fingers to her mouth to lick them so she uses this stuff.  I laughed because everytime I think of somebody bringing their fingers to their mouth, I expect Eric Gregg to call a balk on them.  I reached over and grabbed this stuff; no smell, no greasy feeling on the fingers and a ringing endorsement from the secretary. 

I borrowed the cap of this thing and went online to a depot that sells office supplies and looked it up:  Softkwik, Fingertip Moistener helps you scan through letters and paperwork with ease, greaseless, stainless, non-toxic moistener, $1.79... SOLD!

I saw that there are others on the market but for me, this is kind of like when you have that first soft drink (Pepsi) and it not only becomes your cola of choice forever but the one you ask for by default too.


Times are tough, you got cut corners wherever you can...  I went back and borrowed this magic potion and that Graycliff got a quick triage, STAT!  MASH style and if I say so myself, it looked almost new (from a distance)... I let to dry for a little while and then I smoked like nobody's business! 
I know I am making a huge mistake here because all of a sudden you don't have to pay $5 for a cigar wrapper repair kit, yes they make them... you just go to your favorite or local office supply store buy a couple of these and leave them spread out all over your favorite smoking haunts: work, home, car, girlfriend or your cigar shop locker. 

You didn't hear it here though....
