Cello on or off? BUT this is Cutting the stick

TOB9595 · 01-20-2009, 10:16 AM

I read an info email from cheaphumidors.com
I think it came from there.
The blurb casually mentioned cutting the cigar with the cello on and then removing it for lighting.

I've been smoking for a goodly many years and never thought to cut with the cello on.

I, at first, scoffed at this method. I figured that I knew everything there is to know about getting the cigar ready for cutting.

HAH!!!!

I now ALWAYS cut my stick with the cello on and then just slide it out and light it up.

Some of you who read this will say...."OF COURSE THAT"S HOW YOU CUT A STICK"

I've never seen it cut in the cello.
I really like this method

Do others cut the stick with the cello on?

OR

are you like me who unflapped the cello the manuevered the stick out to cut it?????

C'mon...fess up...

I get a much cleaner cut if I cut the stick with the cello on. Started doing this a couple of years ago when I read about it on Club Stogie.

...I've never even heard of such a thing. I always removed the stick from the cello, and now I'm gonna have to try it the other way. Interesting.

It never occurred to me to cut with the cello on. I'll give it a shot.

Don't know if I can do it... seems all wrong somehow.

Guess I just enjoy the removal process...

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).

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.

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.

I believe that you just place it over the tip and un-roll gently until the entire stick is covered.

That made me laugh.

I've never heard of this before. What is the reasoning behind leaving the cello on?
