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...

What I read some time back is that it keeps your cutter cleaner and you will therefore get better cuts.

I would think this would dull the blade(s) quicker. Having to cut through cello and cigar, instead of just cigar.

hehe - Both, just depends on the RG size of the stick.

I’ve never tried cutting with the cello on, but cutting with it off works great for me.

So how do you cut cigars in the aluminum tubes? Wouldn't that ruin your cutter?

I learned about cutting with the cello on in my old alt.smokers.cigars days. I wise man told me that it's a good idea to cut with the cello on if the blade in your cutter is dull. The dull blade will apparently get more "bite" with the cello on.

you are truly a tard, cello is in the topic, not tubo

You would think the cello, being oil derived, may also actually do some lubricating of the blade. It's worth a shot.

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.

But what if it's a celo cigar in a tubo?

then you bite the cap off

I always take the cello off first I tried leaving it once and the cutter slipped and I got a messed up cut. But I hear that leaving the cello on works great especially if your cutter is getting dull.

Never heard or seen anyone cut a cigar using this method. Might have to give it a try.

[MedicCook]

I have done both ways. I prefer to take them out of the cello personally. I have seen other people actully get the cello jammed into the cutter and then make a mess of the cigar trying to free it.

[shilala]

I do it all the time if I'm just grabbing a cigar for "on the go". That way I can leave my cutter sit where it's at and don't have to haul it along.
Works fine.

I'm not buying any of this...it sounds like something Mo would do
