Does it change?

[Mickeyray5]

I was sitting down with a beer and a Gurka (Can't remember what it was since I had already removed the band) when an emergency struck and I had cancel my smoking plans. That was 3 weeks ago. I had already cut the end of the cigar when my plans changed. I stuck it back in the humi where it has been since.

Here's the question: Does leaving a cigar cut but unsmoked for an extended period of time change the flavor?

Curious as to everyone's input.

I have done that several times, It doesn't change the taste of the cigar.
I think it would slightly if you left them age that way over a long period of time.
I have left mine that way for a month or so until I got back to them. Never had a problem.

I do not think so, I am not the best on flavor profiles but I have done it before and not noticed a diffrence. .02

Not that I have noticed. You run the risk of it unraveling.

I've never noticed nor would in theory it change anything unless it's an aging situation and even then, I wouldn't begin to know how.

I don't know how it possibly could, the ingredients are still the same and the cigar is kept in the same conditions. No taste change could be possible IMHO.

As already stated, since there's no change on the cigar's composition, ye won't taste a difference (it still is exactly what it was before ye cut it, is it not?); although there is the risk of unraveling, so therefore ye shouldn't do it as a common practice.

Its a Gurkha, they get worse with age....(I am not a fan of Gurkha if you can't tell) Just be glad you were saved from smoking it the first time.

Thanks for the tip on unraveling. I hadn't thought of that.
