I'm curious...
How long can cut cigars be stored in a humidor (under proper humidification and all)?
Is there any reason (other than appearance) that a cigar even has a cap on it?

It should store fine, just don't bump it around much, it could knock the wrapper loose.
I don't see any reason why it shouldn't store perfectly well, provided it's properly cut and placed in the right humidor environment. After all, the other end is already open.
It's not like a bottle of wine that begins to change onece it's open to the air.
Here's what I was thinking...
I might get a small humi for the office, in case I want to wander down to the beach or if I'd just had one of "those days". I thought I could get a simple single or double guillotine cutter, but I'm completely hooked on this Xikar and anything else would seem downright crappy.
So I was thinking about cutting them at home with the good Xikar and just storing them at work pre-cut. I couldn't really figure a downside, but hey, what do I know?

They look classy and interesting and would allow you to cut your cigars in your office. Most types also deliver a very good cut. But this is just a matter of your personal taste. :smiley20:
If you are really hooked on the Xikar cutter, simply buy another one. Or as suggested buy a nice desktop cutter! I can see what you mean about not wanting to use anything else though! Those Xikar cutters are great.
