I was at Tobacco Grove in Maple Grove. No idea the price. I grabbed 6 cigars a tin of Haunted Bookshop and this La Gloria heading out of the humidor to settle in one of their recliners and light it up in their cigar lounge.
Won't help you much if you're in a cigar lounge that doesn't have any handy, but you can buy or make your own glue and repair those. Just take some pectin, add water until it's mixed into a glue consistency, you can use a little brush or even a toothpick to glue the wrapper back in place. Give it 24 hours to dry, and you're good to go. Get the smallest jar possible of pectin and it will still last you forever. I usually just make a small batch each time I need it, but you could probably make a little batch and keep it one of those coke vials with the little spoons for a portable version.

Cool, thanks for this tip!

The unravelling has mainly happened on ultra cheap cigars I try now and then. And when I accidentally allow one to dry out. It surprised me that a La Gloria right out if the walk in humidor would have this happen.

I've saved cigars during a smoke with a little pectin in some saliva mixed on a finger tip. I don't mind the sweetness if it saves a smoke and it will often dry if it's on the cut end due to the heat of the draw.
