Cutting cigars in half?
 

Searched but haven't found an answer, has anyone cut a cigar in half and then smoked it? I haven't tried it but I was wondering about it the other day when I wanted one of my Mya churchhills but didn't have an hour and a half to smoke it. I would imagine it would change the flavor profile some but I'm curious about other's experiences/opinions.

One time a friend offered to cut his cigar in half so we could share it. I stopped him however, because I figured it would unravel. I suppose if you could keep the cigar from falling apart, it would smoke just fine.

I've done it. I never heard you couldn't, all tho i'm sure their are it's disadvantages, such as the strength changing, a smaller stick, possible wrapper issues and burn problems.

I'll admit I had issues with the wrapper but nothing a finger in the right place couldn't fix.

I say do it, as long as it's not your Holy Grail of sticks and see for yourself weather you enjoyed both halves of not.

Why not just select a smaller stick?

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

:tpd: Yuppers.

There is a famous story from the CS days about a Lusitania being cut in half...I am sure it will surface here today. :r

:tpd: A churchill is intended to be smoked as a churchill, not two short robustos.

That is the funniest thing I have seen in a while. Yet I feel myself getting closer to the buy button on those.

they had a 'weekend special' on those a few weeks ago, so I bought a few boxes ;)

Patrick B cuts Tabacos Baes Short Fillers in half.

Did they actually come with the boxes? It said "bundles" so I assumed the boxes themselves were not included or I might have ordered one or two.

Re: Cutting cigars in half?
 

don't know, had them shipped to a friend as CI doesn't ship to Europe. All I got is that 'they arrived' never asked if they were bundles or boxes. I missed the 'bundles' remark.

Re: Cutting cigars in half?
 

Well, that was what I was wondering, that makes sense. I may try it just because to see how the flavor and taste is, I really like those churchhills!

Re: Cutting cigars in half?
 

Which of the "four different ways" do you intend to "savor" it? :r

I'll be watching for your review of these. :banger

I do it with cheaper cigars, especially for 20-30 minute smokes at work. Can't afford to smoke a good PC everytime I want a quick smoke, but I do wish I had boxes of Angeles, 68's, and Boli PC's lying around. :)

I don't give a **** if a Tabacos Baez SF Toro unravels a bit. Tastes good, fits in my time schedule, and is cheap. I win.

I enjoy some of the brands in there but what I really wanted was the box. It's funny how CI doesn't ship internationally considering their name.

Atleast he's not a communist. :rolleyes:

Your cigars, do what you want.

I'd make sure to have some pectin on hand since you are likely to need to secure the wrapper on both halves.

Oh yeah, this won't work if you cut it length-wise. :D
