Mario, for shits and giggles I ordered a "bundle" a while back. Alltho at that time I don't remember seeing bundle, I remember box and it DID NOT come in a box, which totaly blows.

Bury them. Cut them in half. Decorate them with a Bedazzler. What's next ladies and germs?

That must be the "canoeing" I've read about

I went ahead and did that tonight. Went pretty well for me. Cut the cap, light it, and smoke it. Simple but effective.

Well played Scott. Wise choice.

Or it's gonna take a lot more pectin than first imagined.

1) The Cigar will unravel
2) You don't get the full complexity of the cigar since they can and do change through the cigar.
3) Just pick a smaller cigar unless you think that buying a churchill and cutting it in half will save you $$...if that is your mindset than it's prob best not to go further into this hobby.

A little spit keeps the wrapper in place quite well. And as I said before, the complexity issue doesn't matter with a cheap stick. If I want a 15-20 minute smoke then cutting a cheapie in half foots the bill quite nicely, and tastes a ton better than any of the cigarillo style cigars out there from the major companies. A PC size cigar lasts about 40 minutes for me, and that won't work on the drive to work or for a lunch time smoke at work. I still mainly smoke full size, and sometimes expensive sticks, this is just a quick work-around for when I have limited time. I'm not trying to convince anyone that thinks it's dumb to jump into it but the OP asked about it and I wanted to offer up some of my experience on the issue.

It's been awhile since we've had a "Can you smoke a cigar backwards?" thread.

I gave a cigar to a guy yesterday....he huffed and puffed for 5 minutes before I let him know he needed to clip the cap....kinda funny. I even offered to clip it first..."oh no, I got this, I've smoked a ton of cigars" Made my night.

To the OP: Is your question about the Mya cigars that are made on Belvedere Rd in West Palm Beach?

Hey buddy... do what you want with your cigars :-)

Me and the Thursday night guys just like to break your balls about it. :-) I wouldn't do it, but if it works for you :-)

You can cut a cigar in half, but you will not get the same taste from either half.

THIS coming from the guy who lights BOTH ends and a punch whole in the middle and "shotguns" the cigar.
~tisk tisk tisk~ :-) (I'll waive your flag for you Dan)

That would have been good for us Noobs to know at the Beginning of this thread.

I did that b/c that cigar (Flor de Oliva Maduro) sucked. It sucked even worse with both sides lit.
