I won a box of the Hoja Nics that were on the Blowout. They're OK (good flavor, great draw, somewhat loosely rolled however). The problem is that they're TOO DARN BIG (Length). If I were to cut this, or any longer smoke for that matter, to a more pleasing size, say 5 inches, how would that alter the experience? I typically like the last 1/3 of the smoke (any smoke). Would this alter the flavor considerably, or would it simply provide me with a shorter smoke, which is what I am trying to achieve. I am concerned that the rollers purposesly roll a longer cigar somewhat more loosly in order to prevent draw problems. If this is true, then cutting a Presidente to a Rothschild would provide a HOT smoke indeed. I do not need any comments regarding how much you like/dislike the HdN's, I am speaking in general terms regarding reduced cigar length. Thanks. Oh, and just for the record... Gore reminds me of a stupid carpenter: "no matter how many times I cut the board, it's still too short...."

LOL, liked the Gore comment. Anyway, I have cut many smokes down for the same reasons and I never noticed any problems. Just make sure you have a sharp cutter and moisten the point where you'll cut, seemed to work nice.

You mean moisten the blade?

Hoja Nics suck. Don't cut em just chuck em.

Actually, Whiny, I'm planning on sending you the cut-ends...

Good one gater I'll send him my Butts too,Hoja consuls
good,not great but satisfy.

Now THAT could hurt!

wany, you're lurking too eh? nice to see you're still around 🙂 and yes, I agree with you on the Hoja Nic thing, however, I'll take one over a Don Tomas any day!

(Rookie's finger hovering over the "delete" button for Hegemonic in the club...) Hmmm.....Should I?....LOL...Don Tomas is a very good smoke...MUCH better than that (dare I say?) Cinco Vegas dogturds (Oh the blasphemy!)...(Rookie crouches down in anticipation of the thrown barbs and insults to soon follow...)...LOL
