Once I used pine. Then I got hardwood. I found that after a while the softer pulp sections of the board were wearing much faster than the grain sections and I wasn't getting even cut on leaf. By that I mean some of the leaf would remain uncut and the area of leaf on the grain cut nicely.
Perhaps you'll have better results than I had with pine.

Yep. The pine will start to shed it's softer pulp and could possibly work it's way into the cigar. They usually use rock maple for cutting blocks in kitchens and butcher shops.

I haven't followed the surface discussion through the years, but the bamboo cutting board I bought while I waited for my first leaf kit to arrive years ago has been flawless since day one and still is at day 1000+.
