I bought a "Stogie Nubber" at Corona in Orlando and it works great. I will post a pic when I get home.

I have never smoked the last inch or so. Is there a reason I would want to?

Clearly some people think so or these products would not be made.

A long time ago, I read some advice on when to stop smoking any particular cigar you happen to be enjoying at the time. It went something like this:

"There is no set point at which you put down a cigar for last time. You stop smoking the cigar when you stop enjoying it, as to not ruin the pleasant memory of the part you have already enjoyed. Be it at the halfway point, the band, an inch left or until you burn your fingers. That's when you set down the cigar."

If it means anything, that advice came from Steve Saka.

Well that works for me. That is the exact reason I stop smoking usually with an inch or so left on most cigars.

I was thinking of something like that but wouldn't it wrapper?

Wrapper like what? Sing "Ice, Ice Baby..."? Gawd, I hope not.

Yes, the spike will put a hole in the wrapper and the alligator clip might damage the wrapper a bit, but really, we're talking about the last 1" of a cigar - it's not going to make a difference. The cigar will fall apart from the inside out, at that point, a little bit of wrapper damage won't mean anything. You're going to set the clip/spike once and that's it, you're not going to be moving them around much.

Jokes?

I ment more in the line of tearing off a piece but I guess they are not so delicate.

Some wrappers are more delicate than others. Most will probably hold up to a slight pinching, a few might not (Connecticut shade comes to mind) and they'll crack.

Zeuceone · 12-23-2010, 07:13 PM

Thanks for the info.

The Stogie Nubber. Looks like they run in the ~$10-$15 range.

I'm fairly new to cigars and have been using a guillotine cutter. is there any advantage to using a punch or different style cutter? also what is a cheap but reliable pair of cutters to have?

It's all a matter of personal preference.
And you'll find a wide variety of opinions on quality cutters. Palio and Xikar are two big names that make quality cutters. I'm partial to Palio.

I have both and it's pretty much a toss up between the two. I like a punch fo a mixed filler like a TAT P3.
Just my
