Cigar Smoking Technique

[Flounder]

Quick question about cutting.

A lot of cigars will come to point on the end you need to cut, how do you all recommend cutting those? I've heard to do it at an angle, but that seems funny to me, but I don't wanna just lop the whole tip off of it. Suggestions?

Start cutting about the size of a pencil eraser off the tip. Test the draw. If too tight, cut off another 1/8 an inch. Test draw. Repeat as needed.

It's better to not cut enough and adjusting than cutting off too much first.
