Shaggy Foot - Cut it or Burn it?

kydsid · 12-21-2009, 06:43 PM

So I have this big ol Johnny O, thanks to Hendy, sitting in my humidor I want to smoke.

The question is to cut off the shaggy foot before lighting the cigar or not?

What say you brothers and sisters?

I have always just lit the foot as is on this type of rolled cigar.

Jason, Jason, Jason, We answered this question sitting around the Buddha Bar at Doug's house??? Well you were pretty out of it with the jet lag from Texas...

SOooooooo---Burn it up gives you an appreciation for the flavors imparted by the wrapper when you transition into the full cigar.

LeoM · 12-21-2009, 06:54 PM

"Do a barrel roll!!" Please tell me that is a reference to Star Fox 64!

But my real vote is to light that baby up!

CasaDooley · 12-21-2009, 07:31 PM

Fire that puppy up!

Starscream · 12-21-2009, 07:41 PM

Do a barrell roll, jump up and down six times, do the hokey pokey and turn yourself about, then light it up.

akumushi · 12-21-2009, 08:02 PM

I would just light it, but make sure to toast it and get it burning evenly before you start smoking it

Starz26 · 12-21-2009, 08:12 PM

Makes the cigar even easier to light IMHO

kydsid · 12-21-2009, 08:12 PM

I burned it. Regardless sadly it was plugged.

D'OH!

You did it wrong!!!!!!!

Burn it while barrel rolling.

I usually just light it as is. I have had a couple that were "excessively" shaggy. Some pieces sticking out an inch or more. I have clipped just a enough off to have the shaggy part somewhat together so nothing is in flames.

I cut it then light the foot. The only cigar I've had with a shaggy foot is the El Mejor Emerald. I like that stick very much but the shaggy foot is a pain, so I snip it.
