Strange question about long cigars

[Wingfan13]

Have any of you ever cut a cigar that was too long to smoke it ? Meaning, I have a cigar that is as long as my . I was thinking about cutting some length off of it so I dont spend 4 1/2 hours smoking it.

Would it change the flavor of the smoke or anything else for that matter ?

finer cigars may have variations in the quantity and type of tobacco through the cigar to enhance certain flavors the blenders are going for.

Cutting the cigar will alter what the blender is trying to deliver.


IMO I like the first 1/2 to 3/4 of a cigar more than the nub anyway so I wouldn't cut any off. Just smoke as much as you want and toss the rest.

LOL, first thing that would come to my mind would be a Robusto joke if you listen to The Bride!! (That ain't why they call me Big Jim!!!)

Personally, when it comes to cutting cigars in half, it's something I do probably once a week. I like to smoke a bowl or a stick at lunch time and probably the best size for the 30 - 45 minutes is a Short Story. But me, being somewhat frugal, prefer to normally cut an AF Classic in half when I feel like a cigar for lunch. I keep a small Tupperdor in my desk with 1/2 doz or so Classics and a cutter in there.

In my opinion, it works pretty good, but I've never cut anything bigger to make a shorter smoke. Even if I liked the result, that doesn't mean you will. I'd say give it a shot and see how you make out.

A bowl huh newfie?



I have known people to cut cigars in half. I have never done it myself for reasons other than to ride a split wrapper issue.

Ok, ok...so I am hung like a Tic Tac.

When you cut the cigars in half did you notice any differences in flavor, strength, burn, etc. ?

I would think there would be a difference.
