A question about pre cutting cigars

I only smoke at the shooting range, and got tired of getting there and having a cigar with draw problems, so I started to bring a backup cigar.

Now I'm thinking why can't I pre cut a bunch, then test draw the one I'm going to bring at home before I leave?

Any reason I shouldn't per cut a whole box?

Once you cut them, you can't sell them. So unless you plan on selling osme later on, go ahead and cut them!

You can, although depending on how they are constructed and how much of the cap you cut away, some pre-cut cigars can unravel after sitting in the humidor for long periods of time. You also have to be a bit more careful handling them since they won't have much holding the head together anymore.

And, lastly, if you gift a cigar, some people don't care for being given one that is pre-cut. As it can be viewed as "tacky".

My preference is to leave then just as they were rolled until ready to smoke. I have to agree with Adam, dont want to risk then coming unrolled.

i will precut cigars on the day I plan to smoke them; for example when I am taking a road trip. I also put these precut cigars in individual tubes to protect them.

I would maybe just precut the day you are going to the range. I have had some cigars that I have precut and then they unwind after a couple of days.

Well I cut about 15 different cigars, so I'll let you know.

On the other hand, I now know which of my cutters works best

Once cut its all downhill as the flavor starts leaking out the cut end.

Why not throw a draw tool in your handgun case or bring it with you?
Makes a cigar with a bad draw better in just a few seconds.

Heck, a pieve of metal clothes hanger will work too.
