Oh wait, maybe it was something about sulfur. Either way, if you want to have friends, it doesn't really matter. If you want to hang with Suckling, well then we have bigger problems

I heard this a while back at another Forum that is currently off-line and have tried it - honestly this doesnt affect if I am an arse or not, my gf says I am at times - it is kind of fun as I really enjoy this part of the ritual, focussing so much on the cigar really helps me enjoy it and block out everything else, I do not do it often but it is fun for me...

As for your questions buddy -

1). No effect IMHO, as long as you take off your white gloves and the bands no one will think the lesser

2). I would be interested to see if this increases wrapper issues

If I am going out and taking just a 3 or 4 finger case - I routinely pre-cut my cigars. That way I don't have to carry a cutter also. I also pre-cut some that I keep in the box in my truck. Saves from having to cut while driving. So no, I don't find it odd at all.

What's more odd is that Bao smokes on his roof

After my experiences with Bao at herfs, probably to check the draw so he doesn't bring cigars that are constructed like tree branches!!!

As far as precutting - I don't see why it would matter - if you decided to prelight them that would be a different story.

Not strange at all.

However, if you start doing pre-draws and pass them out at Herfs, then that would be odd!!!

Mugen910 · 04-25-2010, 03:33 PM

You are all a bunch of jokers aren't cha?

1) I had a cigar that from initial draw was way to tight so I just threw it back into the humi for months (1-2). Totally fixed any draw issues it had.

1.5) Maybe if I precut all my cigars, I'll never have draw issues.

2) I was curious if, besides shaving seconds away from me enjoying the cigar, that maybe the flavor changes somehow with having no end cap.

c) You're all a bunch of pecka heads!!

Do you have an idea on why that may be?

Stop buying cigars with trees wrapped inside and you will be fine

I do the same thing. If it's a cheapie, or if the draw worsens during smoking, I will use the draw tool. Otherwise, it just goes back in for a month or two. I generally smoke those ones myself though, instead of handing them out.
