All the stuff you say not to do, i have already done LOL. I do not even know how to cut one properly. I like the coffee idea. Whiskey,coffee, and some cigar's @Evan B would blend well on the golf course.
I can't tell which one you're trying to troll me more with - the apostrophe or suggesting I'd smoke a cigar, and on a GOLF COURSE.
Well if OMJ was still alive, you would want to be down wind of the cigars and not down wind of him... He's staring down at me now bitching for me writing this.. hey Jiimbo!
Butt you know how I was trying to troll you early this morning.. and no I wasn't.. just trying to be funny..
I think we need to put the apostrophe back in the title... just cuz!

If you look at the cap end (flat not pointed toros or churchills), you will see one to three lines (depending on maker’s construction) close to parallel to the cap. Try to cut just before that line; cutting below will cause the outer wrapper leaf to unroll while smoking, particularly when you get close to finishing. A trick to help ya gauge a correct cut, is to place the opened guillotine cutter on a flat surface…place the cap end on the surface in the hole of the cutter…then without lifting all up, close the cutter to cut the end off. The resulting cap laying there will give you a good gauge for cutting “free hand”.
Ps: out of the three cutters I have tried - guillotine, punch, v-cutter - I prefer the v-cutter. The guillotine can allow loose tobacco in your mouth, but opens up the draw of the cigar. The punch eliminates the loose tobacco, but limits the draw. The v-cutter is a happy medium for me…limits some of the loose tobacco (not all), has a really good draw, and something I forgot to mentioned keeps the cigar together more than a guillotine cut (if cut improperly).

Do you get what you pay for with a good cutter?

Not sure I follow your question…
Get what…cigar, cutter, etc.?
I have had some cheap store cutters that were sharp and worked great. I have had some expensive ones that were too dull to do the job. Same with torch lighters. Same with cigars. I smoked a $50 cigar and it was made very nice… Did it smoke and taste any better than my normal favorites? Not really, but I could check one off my list. There are $1 to $2 hundred cigars (each not box), Cuban seed and made pre-embargo, that I wouldn’t waste money on. Like fly fishing stuff mainly for collectors that have more money than you or I.
Some would say no matter what quality of cutter, torch, humidor…cigars are not worth it.
If you truly want to learn more, go to Cigars.com or Cigars International.com or Cigar Aficionado.com
Get the fancy Able one

Ps: box pressed (they look rectangular) vs round draw easier for certain brands. Shorter and smaller ring gauge draw easier; although, big Ol’ 60 ring gauged cigars seem to be the rage. Along with the draw ability, the flavor profile changes between gauges of the same cigar brand/style. Shorter than 6” draw easier as well. Also avoid Gurkha Cigars - Churchills… they are big, long and tightly packed… the draw sucks (literally).

This is the one that stops me from smoking cigars. I haven’t smoked tobacco out of a pipe but it does smell way better to me.
Some of you guys may relate to this. I’ve been fishing the grande ronde for a long time and we used to have a fish checker/biologist named Johnny. If the wind was right you could smell Johnny coming from 300 yards away. He was always smoking a pipe. Great guy, the ronde isn’t the same without him.

I concur
More than 4 in a day around a campfire with cocktails and good food…the next day the tongue feels like it is pleather.
Sure glad that is not me.
