I did that to a Burpha, errr, Gurkha Legend perfecto, and it greatly improved the cigar. Namely because within a few minutes the POS was too hot to smoke and I had to toss it.

The larger sticks are blended and rolled to be smoked as a whole.
Totally agree.

I have cut many churchills down to various sizes and they have not been the same as having smoked them whole. The reason I have cut them has always had to do with just trying to resolve plugged cigars. Some have only needed a third or less cut and those have not differed as much. However, those that I have cut in half or more, have varied vastly from the original smoke experience of that cigar.

Correct me if I am wrong but it's my understanding Cigars have different blend throughout the cigar. More ligero in foot then less or however. Point is it's not symetrical throughout the cigar.

Most people here have moved on and won't go to this site (I only check it out every now and then, mainly for old references), but here is the thread in which I reviewed a Party Lusitania (which was probably a fake) and I cut it in half. Looking back on it I get a laugh every time.:D



It has a bit of detail as to why not to cut a cigar in half.


I also think this is one of the threads that led me to the Admiral's banter threads. Thanks to Mark and Dokk for helping a noob out at the beginning of his journey.:)

Sorry Andy, I had to kill that link. They don't allow the word "Asylum", so we don't allow links to their place. ;)

Dan lights both ends of a cigar, punches the middle and then smokes it like it was some sort of bong or dope smoking device and I get all the crap about cutting a Lusi in half?:confused::r:r

You can't take us Reds fans anywhere in public.

A man after my own heart. If I have cheaper cigars, and if they are a larger variety, I will cut them...and have caught my share of grief from my friends. (All good natured, of course). However, I don't cut premium cigars as the taste matures as the burn goes down. (With maybe one or two exceptions.) Oh, and for the unraveling. Never had one unravel on me...I just put it in my mouth and spin (please no jokes) :) The saliva will hold it together.
