Ummm... OP doesn't say anything about better cutting - just that he likes it.

Now - the second post says it is better. I will have to experiment... :hm

Honestly I don't know how you can really see the cap with the cello on to cut it where you'd like. Just smoke the freeking cigars this isn't rocket science :D

I am gonna try this tonight and see what the hubbub is anyway...probably gonna end up cutting myself.

Never even considered cutting with the cigar still in the cello. I'll have to try it sometime when it isn't cold as R%$#$^$ %@$^R@$^R%# @%#^R ^# outside.

I don't, like several people have said, it's hard on the blades of your cutter.


Lot of people do that at the shop and we have to replace the cutter once every couple months (Davidoff cutters last the longest).

It isn't derived from oil.

Cellulose fibers from wood, cotton, hemp, or other sources are dissolved in alkali and carbon disulphide to make a solution called viscose, which is then extruded through a slit into a bath of dilute sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate to reconvert the viscose into cellulose. The film is then passed through several more baths, one to remove sulfur, one to bleach the film, and one to add glycerin to prevent the film from becoming brittle.
A similar process, using a hole (a spinneret) instead of a slit, is used to make a fibre called rayon. Chemically, cellophane, rayon and cellulose are polymers of glucose and contain the chemical elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

And unless it goes through a waterproofing process it is not air tight.

Guess I just enjoy the removal process... :D

~ Charles H. Spurgeon, British Baptist preacher
I have a number of sticks where I have removed the cello, and I don't think I place them back in to cut the stick.

I'm with SmokeyJoe and HK3, I just prefer the removal process, smell the smoke, clip right near the end, and fire it up.
:D

I cut my cigars with the cello on when I am going to school and I don't want to carry my cutter, but I want the extra protection for my smoke. I have been doing it for a year or more, and it works great.

This is the only reason I have heard to far that makes any sense.
Cut it and smoke it, seems pretty simple to me.

Anyone new to trying this?
I've cut three today and marveled at how easy it is to cut a thin piece off the cap and it slides out of the cello sooooo good.
