wet before you cut

[podman28]

Most of the time here.

 

[Alwayslit]

cameroon cigars mostly to keep from splitting.

 

[SmokeProper]

always.

I usually moisten the cap, yes. Someone on here mentioned it once, so I tried it ... now it's my standard and I seldom mess up the head when cutting now (when dry, it seems they are a bit easier to crack).

 

[dpmrpa]

I don't get it. If u dont cut the entire cap, why would the wrapper fail. Of course the cigar should not be dry.

 

[Barndog]

Sometimes I do.

 

[darkman]

just saliva here

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Yes, I always have!

And I only use "my" cutter, I never use the B&M's cutter. I usually have several in my pocket anyway....straight, V-cutter and punch!

 

[ctaylor]

Does anyone here dip cigars into scotch or brandy before cutting?

 

[ncstogie]

never, I do test draw after cutting though often. I am with Larry here, I was at a local B&M recently and saw someone wet their cap then proceed to stick it into the large table cutter... No thanks... That is just not right in my book...

 

[t_ron99]

Alright...you guys have convinced me. I'll never use a public cutter again.

I guess I never really thought about it before...but I will from now on!

That's nasty. I never use the public cutter manyway, but that's a reason not to.

 

[Andytex]

I alkways use my own cutter. Hell thats why I bought the thing. I also always wet the cap before cutting. i don't know where i picked this habit up and had to go smoke a cigar to realize if I did or not but i do.

 

[Jfire]

Always for a good 20 seconds or so

 

[okia42]

I do it.

 

[hdroadglide]

in the immortal words of bill clinton......... "is it wet enough yet?"

 

[aquarich]

Gonna have to try it. I have noticed them blow apart upon cutting from time to time.

 

[Vegan702]

Crap, now you have me freaked out about the cutter!

 

[Craig Mac]

Yup, I do too.

 

[openendstraight]

I am not sure where or when I picked up this habit, but I always do.
