I've used one. Tried it at a shop about a year ago.
Here are my
:
1. It was created BECAUSE people in the factory did use Exacto/razor blades to cut slits. it mimicks that. If you want to take the time to use a razor to cut five holes, experiment on your own.
2. You had to put it further into your mouth than I normally do as the slits are on the side rather than the tip of the cigar
3. The draw is more restricted than a standard cut with a guillotine (Should be obvious since that is a lop off the end)
4. I ended up having the shop owner give me a standard clip after I was through with half of the smoke.
Overall, it's not that is was BAD it was just QUITE different.
IF you're someone who thinks what you have is good enough...well, you're going to feel that way no matter what the new product is.
For someone who chomps the hell out of their cap and the cigar ends up unraveling, this may be for you. The cap (and wrapper) stayed relatively intact throughout my smoke.
TG is right in that it became restricted as the cigar was smoked.
