I am not sure what is up with the lower part of this pre-flag. It appears the bottom of the leaf has a deformity. Is this going to foul the flag? Should I worry about it or wait and see...:2738:

Yes, this happens frequently. The bottom part of this leaf is kind of trapped by the next cigar leaf. As said already, it will grow out of it.

It's not deformed and that's perfectly normal. The left side of the leaf unfurls first and then the right. Your leaf tore before it completely emerged, it will be fine.
