Light a cigar backwards? - Page 2

A good way to tell on a perfecto, even without the band, is that the head of the cigar's got a cap on it.

Haven't done this and don't plan on doing it.

Hehe - no one plans on doing it - it just happens.

Not yet, but I can see me doing this in the future.

I done it.

Felt dumb, but it was when I first started and it was one of like 12 cigars in my humidor so smoked it anyway

That's why I cut perfectos at a slight angle (called the Dyckman Cut). This cut also allows the smoke to automatically start swirling around your mouth and thus the flavors can be more pronounced.

I got real close to lighting the wrong end of a funky shaped little Perdomo 2.

No, but I cut a Lusi in half.

I took off the label of a perfecto, clipped the end while I was in the house. Got comfortable on the deck and stared at it and thought…humm, which end is the foot? Being too lazy to run back upstairs and compare it…I ended up lighting the head…

It’s not going to be a good day.

I have done it a couple of times in my "newbie" smoking days when I was just a kid. I used to cut tight cigars in half in hopes of getting more smoke and also light cigars from the other end because of a lack of a cutter.

Honestly, the taste changes but the cigar still has its true good flavors if it is a good cigar to begin with. However, my smoking backwards or in half days are over
