I could have called this post, in through the out door? Or Rear Entry? I debated these too...
Just speculation mind you, I have not tried this but may. There is much debate about "the cut" and therefore, the cutter. Even a good cutter gets dull over time and tends to smash the head (ouch). Why not cut the head with a damn butter knife? Turn that baby around (oh yeah, who's your tobbacconist! WHO'S YER TOBBACCONIST!) and endulge (dare I say it?) a foot fetish? Light the head? In which case, who gives a rats fanny if it's a nasty cut. And you would surely have the best possible draw? Has anyone else considered taking a ride down the muddy road? Curious.
