wet before you cut

[dpricenator]

yeah the public cutter thing is pretty gross. come to think of it, I have used a number of you guy's cutters. eewwwww:sadstare:

 

[Strick]

Always have wet the cap and carry my own cutter....

 

[Cigary43]

Always wet before cutting as it keep the wrapper from unravelling. I always have my own cutter and use nobody elses for this simple reason.

 

[DavidInSF]

Yup, got this advice a few weeks ago at my B&M, no more wrapper unraveling.

 

[Baldanders]

Yes both when I cut and punch unless I'm using someone else's punch/cutter.

 

[Penzip]

I do this most of the time.

 

[daniyal]

some times if I feel the wrapper is dry..

 

[Hardcore]

Every time.

 

[boom]

I agree wet it before to help reduce any cracking

 

[swat253]

I have started recently, mostly due to holding the stick in my mouth while gathering my other stuff. In public, I never use a table cutter; I lost mine recently and started using my back-up punch! Now, I use it all the time!

 

[amgracing]

sometimes i do sometimes i dont

 

[cigardan]

Yes, I do it, all the time.

 

[CWS]

No. Mucks up the cutter and well, yuck.

 

[Surfrod55]

I wet before I cut

 

[strife]

Lol, shit I go Linda Lovelace on my cigars before I do anything with them. I let em dry out a bit then cut and light. I find I have less caps fall apart and less wrappers split if I moisten them first.

 

[Virgeinadeaux]

Call me bass ackwards, but I cut, toast, wet, and light. I don’t go any were without my Palio.

 

[Mitch]

I never wet and don't have any problems with cracking, but I also smoke sticks from my humidor.

 

[Psojka RP,601]

i never have...but i am a puncher. next time i cut one tho, ill have to try this...

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Lol, shit I go Linda Lovelace on my cigars before I do anything with them. I let em dry out a bit then cut and light. I find I have less caps fall apart and less wrappers split if I moisten them first.

....and that is exactly why I did it too!

 

[Stew]

Wetting used to be part of my ritual but Ive found myself forgoing this practice lately. No real reason. Maybe Ill go back to doing this...hmm...
