    Slide the tip of the leaf/paper of the wrapper loose enough to rub and tug on.

    If you have trouble starting the peel, try using your fingernails to lift it up.

    When you get the peel going, continue around in a steady motion to avoid prematurely tearing the wrapper into smaller pieces.

    If you do happen to tear the wrapper into tinier pieces, make sure those bits are discarded where they are not at risk of catching fire.

    You may end up loosening some of the tobacco in the tip within the cigarillo. , Continually rub and twist the wrapper around the filter until it comes off.You can decide now how much of the filter you actually want to take off.
