Wrapper or No?

[LawDog2006]

Just got an email from cheaphumidors.com containing some of their tips/advice on cigars, humidors and enjoying them. While usually nothing contained really captures my attention there was one line today that did...
"It also is great to cut your cigars with the wrappers on, as it keeps the blade clean and sharp much longer."

Does any one subscribe to this philosophy? Thanks all.

What do you mean wrapper? Like the cello?

 

[Stew]

If by wrapper they mean Cello then no. Ive never done that. Probably never will. It seems to me like cellophane is a much tougher material than tobacco so I dont see how it could be good for a cutter. Then again, most stainless steel blades could handle it. I guess it just seems unnecessary.

Cello off for cutting.

I have not cut any stick with cello on.

 

[srduggins]

Just seems like you might get little pieces of cello stuck in the stick.

That is just an odd statement that they put in there. Not gunna lie...does not make much sense. I hope they did not really mean wrapper...

I do sometimes cut with cello on if I'm just using a regular guillotine style cutter. I have found that it's less likely to crack the wrapper that way.

Otherwise, I just wet the wrapper real well before cutting (whatever style cut I use), and that seems to keep the cap nice.

There are several sites that put info out there that just seems like they had someone write to fill up a page.

can i take this further and ask if people keep their stored cigars in the celophane? i take mine out...

 

[terrantheman]

comes down to the old philisophical question of the cigar smoker... cello on or cello off?

If you cut your Tat tubos while they're still in there your cutter is honed and polished as well.

I have never tried this but that doesnt mean it doesnt work. I guess just give it a try and let us know.

It has never occured to me to cut w/ the cello on. That just seems moronic.

i don't see the benifit of cutting it with the cello on. but i've come to learn every person has there own ritual.

 

[r3db4r0n]

I have never once even thought about doing this nor have I before now even heard of anyone doing it haha

 

[neadcigars]

I have to agree, I have never even heard of this before today.

 

[robindurden]

i do it every once in awhile. i also read this on their site. doesn't seem much different w/ or w/out

cutting with the cello on will dull the blade - no question about it.

In before lock (Like a race with E, next to me).
