Who Needs a Cutter when Ya Have a Toothpick??

I have never heard or seen anything like that before. I guess it would work, so why not.

See it all the time working at a B&M. Guys bite, poke, stab or otherwise maul a cigar in some strange ways.

Most unusual I've seen is the guy who used the broken antenna on his phone to poke a hole in one...just a little metal stub sticking out.

Toothpick, ice pick... whatever works I guess!!!

It is probably better than biting the cap off!!!

Get 'Er Done!!!

I have been known to use a Bic pen when I forgot to take a cutter with me. Whatever opens up the cigar and lets it be smoked is fair game. The most extreme thing that I ever used was the RCA mini plug on a set of Walkman headphones.

I've used a pocket knife before. That's about as crazy as I've gotten.

Never seen it, but if it works...
I'd probably use the toothpick before biting off the cap if I was desperate enough. Most B&Ms that I've been to will clip or punch a cigar for you if you ask though.

There is actually a piercer made for doing just that. It's about the guage of a toothpick. Looks like a tool a body piercer would use.
