First question is: After cutting a cigar with a guillotine cutter how bad is it (if at all) not to smoke the cigar right away and to store it in your humi?

Second question is directly related to the 1st. I bought a fiver of cigars off of someone, not this site, and one of the f'ing cigars was cut already. It was not in the description of the cigar sale. Am I slightly peaved for no reason or is this unacceptable? I don't know if I should say anything or not. I don't want to make a big deal over one cut cigar but I just never heard of this and I certainly wouldn't sell a cut cigar to someone w/o their knowledge.

What say you?

I've heard that it's not too bad to smoke a cigar a day or two after it's been cut, but not any longer.

But I would be pissed if I bought cigars off of someone and received them already cut. If it was a RAOK I would only think it a little strange. But to purchase already cut smokes and not be informed beforehand... that I think is a no-no. Sounds like someone was trying to hide something.

just my 2¢

I have cut cigars and taken them on a day trip and not smoked them. Back in the humi and most of the time they are fine. I have had a few that the wrappers seem to act up a little but no big deal.Then again I have cut a cigar, stuck in my mouth and never ended up smoking that night.

I would be peaved as well after buying from an individual , not so much that it was cut ,but was it in the dip****tes mouth.

I would probably toss it. Leave the kcuf some bad feedback if possible. If its a pricey smoke cut 2 inches off of it and smoke the fuggar!

more than once I have cut a cigar and then decided I didn't want to smoke it after all. Put it back in the humi and came back to it a few weeks later with no adverse effects at all

they should've disclosed/mentioned that it was cut already. I would say something to them.

I agree that it should have been mentioned that it was cut. I too, would have been pissed if I paid for cigars and they were cut. However...I have cut cigars in the past and let them sit for months before smoking them with no adverse effects.

Yea, I guess the whole not telling me before I bought them just pisses me off. He had to know when he listed them and then sent them to me that it was wierd and shady to send a cut one.

1) Not bad at all, makes no difference at all really. If you cut down the cap too far, then the cigar might unravel, but that's the worst of it. I've had cut cigars in my humidors for months (year?), simply because I forgot about them, with no ill effect when I finally smoked them.

Some manufacturers even make them that way, for example,. J. Fuego Origens Originals.

2) Have you tried contacting him to ask about it? Could be an accident.

Wasted effort and emotion to spin your wheels on it then. Just contact them and ask. That will quickly tell you what kind of person you are dealing with.

Shit happens, it's inevitable. It's how someone reacts and deals with it that tells you their true mettle.

I don't think so. I just wanted opinions before I asked him about it. I didn't want to blow up on him so I asked on here and let it settle for a second. I'll pm him and see what he thinks.

Ok, fair enough. You wanted some time to cool down, I can understand that, especially if this has never happened to you, which from the sounds of it, it hasn't. I have had it happen to me before and, every time, it's simply been an accident. Not saying that's the case here, but give him a chance.

Yep first time. Hope thats the case that it was just an accident. Thanks for the input, I pmed him.

I have received cut cigars from the jack holes here. Some people cut them, as mentioned above, and put them back to sleep. Not a big deal to me. The only question you may want to ask him is what the story is behind that cigar. Was it an attempt to smoke and the wife started making demands or was it a cold draw and he didn't like it? It's one thing to clip and put a stick away vs tasting it and changing your mind.

^That would be my biggest concern, Gimbel. A cut stick more then likely has had someone else's mouth wrapped around it. No thank you.

Agreed, the first thing I do after a snip is test the draw. Might wanna cut an inch of it and make a short smoke.
