Haha just went to do somebasic research abt Cigar. Found some interesting site for beginner like me to read-on n understand more on Cigar-ing...

PS : This not to promote smoking, but to make ppl to appreciate the art of Cigar more...

[Throttle]

cigars can last very very long even tens of years...

 

the older, the stronger and the deeper the aroma.

 

but only if stored in the right conditions in a humidor.

Wow. Like tat, your expenses in stocking up your cigars must be very high. So how many you puff per week?

[Throttle]

yes stocking up is expensive, certainly into the thosands of dollars . also not to mention the humidors , lighter, cutter, cigar soft case etc.....

 

i do about 5 a week. mostly big ring gauge cigars like robustos, double coronas,corona gordas, robusto extras, churchills, tainos etc..

 

i dont like small ring gauge cigars so the smallest i will smoke is a petite corona....

[numbergames]

oh ya... wanted to ask the ones that i got from u the other day, what brand is it??? and also how much would a cigar cutter cost???

[osiris]

sorry im a noob in this.

is there any diff using a cigar cutter to snip off the tip as compared to using scissors?

[numbergames]

what i heard is that the "feeling" when you smoke it would not be as smooth as when it is cut.. maybe throttle could clarify this......

[Throttle]

you try cutting with scissors and you will find out, hahaha

that is , if you are sucessful....

 

put it this way, you dont use a toothpick to eat noodles, right?

 

cigar cutters ensure that the cap is cut clean, giving a good draw to the cigar

also it prevents the wrapper leave of the cigar from unravelling or being ripped by a pair of scissors.

 

of course if you have steady hands you can use a very sharp penknife. but you have to do it carefully.....where got time? so just buy a cigar cutter and use it...

 

some people bite it off but only in the movies or if you are an old man in Cuba who simply cannot afford a cutter.

[numbergames]

how much would one cost???

[Throttle]

depends, good ones about $60 - 80

 

average ones $40 - $50

 

branded ones $200 - $500

 

 

average ones work ok , bro.

 

 

 

also there are many types:-

 

single guillotine

twin blade guillotine

punch/bullet

cigar scissor

V-cut

 

 

I still prefer the twin blade.

I have 3 cutters - 2 twin blade and 1 single blade.

 

hoping to receive a dunhill cutter ($300) for my birthday, heh heh heh heh

[numbergames]

thanks for the info.. maybe i can go to shop of this item on my off day.....

[Throttle]

yeah , go to any good cigar shop.

 

they should have a range....

 

as long as the blade and the construction is good....

 

i recommend twin blade

 

around $30+++ good enuff

[numbergames]

[Throttle]

starting a cigar shop has been on my mind for so long man.....
