In my opinion, ignorance is the greatest opportunity you will ever have.

I have found that precut cigars never taste quite the same as freshly cut cigars. Couldn't tell you why though.

Plus, for me, cutting is an important and special (as weird as that sounds) ritual. So, I lose something if I dont have to cut a cigar.

I guess I'm just full of opportunities then

I've never had a pre-cut cigar so I can't say, but I wonder how/why that would affect the flavor....

The ritual part I can understand. I always bang three times on the foot board before I go to bed.... (bizarre O.J. Simpson reference.)
