Cigar Cutting Is An Art Too
When I think of Cuban cigars, I think of how hundreds of years ago it was discovered and officially discovered by Christopher Columbus. The history of Cuban cigars is just part of the whole deal and a very small part too.
A good example of this is the cutting process that is involved in getting a cigar prepared to smoke. If you do this properly, you will enjoy a fantastic cigar. If you do it improperly, the cigar will become almost unusable and will be very unpleasant to smoke. Although there are many different methods, here is a little bit about how to cut a cigar.
So before you begin to cut it, have a quick look at the end of your Cuban cigar. Upon close inspection, you will discover that a cap is placed, made from Cuban tobacco leaves to seal the freshness of your cigar and to let you know what area to cut. This is the part that you must eliminate and draw you smoke from. Caps are standard in all Cuban cigars and are placed with the up most skill.
Cut the cap off but leave 25% of it on their, just to be on the safe side. Cuban cigars, although hand rolled, can be easily unwrapped if you make the wrong cut, so take extreme precaution when doing it. Be swift yet gentle and after you execute the proper cut, you should be doing just fine.
One of the most popular forms of cigar cutters is known as a guillotine cutter. It is actually a simple piece of equipment but it is something that no cigar enthusiast is usually without. They carry well in your pocket and are available in case you ever have time for an impromptu smoke. If you’re using this type of cutter, don’t take your time in actually cutting off the cap. Line up the cutter exactly where you want it, make your decision and then snip it quickly. This will provide you with a very clean cut which will make smoking a cigar much more enjoyable.
Of course, there are many different ways of how to cut a cigar and each person will have to have their own favorite. What you may want to do, however, is keep a variety of different cutters on hand for various occasions. The reason why this is the case is because cigars take on many different shapes and sizes and some cutters will work better for a specific cigar than others. Some people even use scissor type cutters on a regular basis to snip the ends off of the cigars.
What you don’t want to do is use scissors – I highly discourage that although a lot of people do it. Cuban cigars are amazing so you should take that extra step and get some Cuban cigar cutters. If you are not sure, just go down to that Cigar shop around the corner and they’ll help you out. It’s just that easy.
