Cello on or off? BUT this is Cutting the stick

So how do you cut cigars in the aluminum tubes? Wouldn't that ruin your cutter?

I learned about cutting with the cello on in my old alt.smokers.cigars days. I wise man told me that it's a good idea to cut with the cello on if the blade in your cutter is dull. The dull blade will apparently get more "bite" with the cello on.

you are truly a tard, cello is in the topic, not tubo

You would think the cello, being oil derived, may also actually do some lubricating of the blade. It's worth a shot.

It isn't derived from oil.

Cellulose fibers from wood, cotton, hemp, or other sources are dissolved in alkali and carbon disulphide to make a solution called viscose, which is then extruded through a slit into a bath of dilute sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate to reconvert the viscose into cellulose. The film is then passed through several more baths, one to remove sulfur, one to bleach the film, and one to add glycerin to prevent the film from becoming brittle.
A similar process, using a hole (a spinneret) instead of a slit, is used to make a fibre called rayon. Chemically, cellophane, rayon and cellulose are polymers of glucose and contain the chemical elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

And unless it goes through a waterproofing process it is not air tight.

We're still talking about that clear stuff my cigars come wrapped in right.

then you bite the cap off

I heard that leaving the cello on while cutting and smoking is how the true aficionado does it. Especially when the cello has been on for awhile and develops a yellow tinge. You don't want to waste all the oil residue left on the cello

On a serious note. I might try it but it seems it would be more of a hassle. Don't change if not broken.

I'd like to hear AFTER you try this.
It makes for easier extrication of the stick

I remove the Cello on all my NC cigars when I receive them. I find that the sticks get up to the proper RH quicker in my cooler that way so no cello here

[Pat1075]

I always take the cello off first I tried leaving it once and the cutter slipped and I got a messed up cut. But I hear that leaving the cello on works great especially if your cutter is getting dull.
