Why do cigars not come pre-cut?

Trust me, you don't want to smoke them. Just check the reviews on this board or on my blog http://cigarblog.blog.com

A friend of mine to the south of me, on the Kansas/Oklahoma border, was gifted a box & a partial of Guantanamera cristales recently by a customer of his. He called me the other day when he was smoking one, but did not comment about the cigar, other than that it was a Cuban & came in a tube. I guess we now know why the customer gave him the whole box +...LOL.

It reminds me of a story that Harry Truman told of an old black gentleman that had recieved a bottle of whiskey for Christmas from his boss. Harry asked him how it was & he said, "Just about right."

Harry asked him what he meant by "just about right," so the old gentleman replied that if it had been any better his boss wouldn't have given it to him, & if it had been any worse he wouldn't have drank it. :)

Cheap Bastard cigars come pre-punched.

Haha, yep, that's pretty much it. But I had a pre-punched mystery stick I bough at a feast at one of the Catholic churches around here (you know, a big, Italian, summertime festival-type thing where you eat, drink and gamble for the Church), but I have to say it wasn't half bad. The ash held pretty well and it burned nicely, and it had a one-dimensional but enjoyable flavor. They were charging $3 a piece for them.

Actually in days gone by - in gentlemen and private clubs, the attendee would retrieve a cigar, cut and light it for you - white gloved of course. Back in college, some of the people that I use to hob nob with had memberships to various places in which I would attend. Quite common.

That would be a Guantanamera. Im hesitant to smoke those too, but it has nothing to do with the fact they are pre cut.

Just let them age a bit. I tried a couple and was disappointed. It was part of 5 I bought. I just had them in the humidor because I didn't like them. Finally after keeping on pushing them to the side and select something else I said what the hell. With rest they are a lot better! :2:2

when I just started to smoke I bought a box of MC#4, a fiver of Cohiba siglo II and a bunch of singles from Singapore airport. 2 of those singles were Guantanamera Cristales, I smoked one soon after I got home and found it disgusting. The other one I smoked a few months ago to review, that cigar had at least 2 1/2 years rest on it, it was still like smoking and old sock that had seen too many hours in old sweaty sneakers.
