Shaggy Foot - Cut it or Burn it?

[kydsid]

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?

[AD720]

Light it up!! :tu

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

Light it up.

Jason, Jason, Jason, :D:D:D 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.:tu

[kelmac07]

Burn baby burn!!

[LeoM]

Yep, yep! Burn it up!

[kydsid]

snip

We did? Alcohol and jet lag are my co-counsels on this one. I don't remember that at all.

"Do a barrel roll!!" Please tell me that is a reference to Star Fox 64! :r:r
But my real vote is to light that baby up!

[CasaDooley]

Fire that puppy up!:ss

[Starscream]

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

[akumushi]

I would just light it, but make sure to toast it and get it burning evenly before you start smoking it:2

[Starz26]

Makes the cigar even easier to light IMHO

[kydsid]

I burned it. Regardless sadly it was plugged.

[BC-Axeman]

D'OH!

[Savor the Stick]

I burned it. Regardless sadly it was plugged.

You did it wrong!!!!!!!

Burn it while barrel rolling.

[Namerifrats]

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.

i usually just light it unless it is excessively shaggy, however be careful to watch where the ash falls, could burn your shirt :r

Try not cutting it next time. One of the things I like about shaggy foots is the flavor change when you hit the wrapper, shows how much flavor is coming from it.

Burn it like you own it!!!


:ss


Chris.....:ss

[NCRadioMan]

If the makers wanted you to cut it when you lit it, they would have cut it themselves.

[Tombstone]

i always burn

[brigey57]

Light It Up!:tu

[ucla695]

I torch it!! Too bad it was plugged.

[Skywalker]

Sorry it was plugged!!!:(

[GreekGodX]

It was prolly just too tight at the foot. You should have let it burn a little more!

[LooseCard]

I burned it. Regardless sadly it was plugged.

I burn them as I figure that's how they were meant to be.

Too bad it was plugged.
Ya know, they make this lil stick like things..... :r

[Blindjimme]

I just fire it up. Jason, anyone - barrel roll - explain me please.

[bobarian]

Sorry it was plugged!!!:(

[weak_link]

[GKitty]

Burn it like you own it!!!
