Default Cutting cigars in half?
Searched but haven't found an answer, has anyone cut a cigar in half and then smoked it? I haven't tried it but I was wondering about it the other day when I wanted one of my Mya churchhills but didn't have an hour and a half to smoke it. I would imagine it would change the flavor profile some but I'm curious about other's experiences/opinions.

One time a friend offered to cut his cigar in half so we could share it. I stopped him however, because I figured it would unravel. I suppose if you could keep the cigar from falling apart, it would smoke just fine.

I've done it. I never heard you couldn't, all tho i'm sure their are it's disadvantages, such as the strength changing, a smaller stick, possible wrapper issues and burn problems.

I'll admit I had issues with the wrapper but nothing a finger in the right place couldn't fix.

I say do it, as long as it's not your Holy Grail of sticks and see for yourself weather you enjoyed both halves of not.

Why not just select a smaller stick?

The larger sticks are blended and rolled to be smoked as a whole.

Yuppers.

There is a famous story from the CS days about a Lusitania being cut in half...I am sure it will surface here today.

A churchill is intended to be smoked as a churchill, not two short robustos.

Well, that was what I was wondering, that makes sense. I may try it just because to see how the flavor and taste is, I really like those churchhills!

Totally agree.

I have cut many churchills down to various sizes and they have not been the same as having smoked them whole. The reason I have cut them has always had to do with just trying to resolve plugged cigars. Some have only needed a third or less cut and those have not differed as much. However, those that I have cut in half or more, have varied vastly from the original smoke experience of that cigar.

That is the funniest thing I have seen in a while. Yet I feel myself getting closer to the buy button on those.

Did they actually come with the boxes? It said "bundles" so I assumed the boxes themselves were not included or I might have ordered one or two.

Mario, for shits and giggles I ordered a "bundle" a while back. Alltho at that time I don't remember seeing bundle, I remember box and it DID NOT come in a box, which totaly blows.

It's been awhile since we've had a "Can you smoke a cigar backwards?" thread.

Which of the "four different ways" do you intend to "savor" it?

I'll be watching for your review of these.
