Problem

[trnsam]

Well Im smoking a cigar now, and my cutter f'd up the end and its unraveling and coming apart. Problem is, I really like this cigar and I want to smoke it, however tobacco is coning out and getting in my teeth. Is there any way to make this cigar smokable??

Usually there is not a lot you can do once this starts to happen.

You might licking the wraper and seeing if it will stick. But I have not had a lot of luck with trying that.


How far down did you clip the cigar. Sounds like you might have went a little too far.

Well, you said the wrapper is already unraveling. Can you sacrifice a little more of the wrapper and cut it again, making sure to hold it together? After a dozen drags or so, the tobacco probably will be consolidated with enough saliva and stuff.

For some reason my cutter didnt cut, it more like smashed the end of the cigar, needless to say I put that cutter in the trash. I am probibly going to hear it for this one, but i put some tape on the end. Just enough to hold it together, but not so much as to affect its nubbing ability. Thought I would try it. But thanks for the extremely quick responces, much apreciated!!

This is when being a chomper is better than being a drooler.

Sometimes you can slide the ring back on if it isn't ripped, but mostly I lick and chomp. Sounds disgusting when you write it down.

Dull cutters can be a pain for sure. Glad ya got a work around.

This tape im using is working really well, however im going to have to remember to quit before i get to the tape.

Sounds like somebody needs to invest in a Palio! .. Glad the tape worked for ya... I cut mine too low tonight too, my ERDM started to unravel.. but like Mr. M'oo said.. a lil saliva, and a lil chomp, and it was good as new...

[trnsam]

well i do need to get a new one, since my other one is in about 4 pieces in the bottom of the trash.

I had a horrible cut one time from a knife because I forgot my cutter, didn't even bother trying to lick it, just turned it around and smoked it backwards...worked great

[trnsam]

haha, never thought of that. maybe ill try it next time, hopefully there isnt a next time

that is hilarious! I don't ever want to jack up a cigar with a dull cutter. After it took a little muscle to get through my Rocky Patel today, I decided it was time to order a Xikar Xi2. $29 at famous-smoke .

I have dumped a cigar or two I trashed, when I should have tried that!

I may get a palio soon. Gonna look at my store tomorrow because I lost my cutter. (I know they dont have palio, but they may have something to fill the gap for the time being) It worked so well and I had it for over a year.
