I do not think it's odd for someone to show up to a herf with pre-cut smokes, not at all whatsoever....and as far as storing them cut, I have had a problem with this...I did this once and it was cedar wrapped...long story short it tasted like cedar when I was smoking it. I am not talking hints of cedar I am saying it tasted like I was smoking a cedar cigar. Then again it was a Gurkha
