due to time constraints, i have started cutting some of these, in order to have a shorter smoke.
i'll cut 2.5-3 inches off and save 4-4.5 inches
the 4-4.5 inch part still smokes and tastes good, kinda like a petite robbie.
the 2.5-3 inch part is really "meh"
should i be cutting them into even halves?
thoughts?
(i will not punch the middle, clip the head, and light both ends just to save time 🤦 )

(please, please, please, please, please, please 🙏 )
(they need to make a mooch alert smiley, kinda like the sarcasm alert one :-" )
he he, not that I haven't thought of doing the same thing.
need more feedback please.
i don't trust ^ this one lol
:-k

Tried it with a crappy smoke, still tasted crappy...
Not that I haven't cut a cigar before, but sometimes they are crafted to transition. Thus, you're not smoking it as it was intended.

Si !
i thought about that too, but i've been cutting cheap smokes, so i doubt that they were "crafted" to transition a whole lot, or at least not as much as a pricier smoke.
o well, i guess i'll keep experimenting
Cigar should be at least 6 inches long....
Cut it in half, smoke the "foot" half first, and light the original foot end, put the other half back in cello smoke later, but not too much later....
I only do this occasionally on "cheapish" yard gars......
Not forgetting that the half without the cap will probably start to unravel and come apart. Even the gimmick one's sold to be cut in half have caps on both ends.
Trade them off for what you want or donate to OpFTH, but don't cut them.
You could consider smoking a portion, letting it go out, trim the all the ash back to raw tobacco, purge, and dry-box for later. Wouldn't suggest it for anything high-end but for yard-churches it may be an option over cutting them.
What about those 'Winter Blends'....:-k
The edge was one of the first 'good' cigars that I smoked.
OR Winterblend is one that proves every dog has his day.
Edge isn't what it used to be but they're ok. The Old World is one that REALLY went down hill.

Haven't had one yet, but Tuck sent me one (2012)
We'll see. Decade was OK, but nothing special.
The newer one isn't terrible like the summer blend.
