New Member Cutting Techniques

I'm guessing smoke slower, purge (blow out through the cigar slowly) more frequently as the cigar burns down, and/or use a bigger cut - either cross the V (two cuts, but you will get more unravelling), or use a guillotine.

When you vcut a cigar it forces the smoke through a smaller openening, resulting in a tar buildup the longer you smoke it. I generally only v cut a box press cigar.

I guess that makes me less than a gentleman, but I already knew that. Ditch the V-cutter and get a guillotine cutter.

Agreed, I've never bothered with a V-cutter. As far as only smoking 1/3 of a cigar, I guess if I was a Gazillionaire
like Zino I'd bin them after a 3rd as well.

Makes me much less than a gentleman. Maybe we should think of them as someone else's cigar that we just bought... Unless it's totally horrible, I burn my fingers just to smoke down to the last drop.
