Here's a curious thing. I bought a fiver of Gurkha Park Avenue torpedos a while back. I know, I know, - they're Gurkhas. But the only reason I buy them is that I learned the Park Avenue was blended by AJ. That, plus they're a mild smoke for when I'm in the mood for one.
Anyway, the curious part is - ya know how when you go to open a cello and remove the cigar - usually about an inch or so of the end of the cello is folded back. Sometimes the folded end is held in place with a sticky-label and sometimes nothing holds it.
So, what's it mean when the folded portion of the cello on each cigar in the fiver has been cut off (kinda sloppily) with scissors? Have any of you run into this before? It isn't the first time I've noticed it but it's not a frequent thing, either.
Just curious. It's not a big deal....

That is odd. I remember seeing that before on one or two but never five at once.

Those may have been from me. I apologize but when I first started buying some I had read that some people cut the celo to let them breathe.0

Ah, maybe that's where I got them. No apology necessary, my friend. I should mark cigars with the date and source when I get them and I wouldn't always be in the dark. Just too lazy, I guess.genareddog said:Those may have been from me. I apologize but when I first started buying some I had read that some people cut the celo to let them breathe.
Anyway, I thought maybe a retailer had cut off a sale price or something. I've only seen this a couple times and was curious as to the meaning. As I said, it's no big deal. Thanks for your input, though.0 -
I use to cut the cello flush with the end of the cigar also0

Just goes to show that no matter how old you are or how long you have been married men fear women.cbuck said:@jlmarta I cut them off when I buy them from my b & m cause that's where they put the price tag. No need for the wife to see what I'm paying! She knows they aren't from the cigar fairy, but no sense stirring things up!"I drink a great deal. I sleep a little, and I smoke cigar after cigar. That is why I am in two-hundred-percent form."

I think you sent me some like that when I won the lottery ... was that you?genareddog said:Those may have been from me.

Probably. I don't cut them anymore but I did at first.0
