View Full Version : 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! :tu
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 :)

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.
