...its also a good etiquette maneuver when you are using a cutter that does not belong to you.

Can't say I've ever run into this or have this issue. No matter where I go or smoke I always have my own cutters on me so never thought about this or considered it, nifty solution though

Or bring your own knife.I don't get it, which to be fair happens often. The cutter blades are still touching the cigar, they're just cutting through the cello first.

In my neck of the woods a man's not dressed unless he has a knife. I always have a honed blade. If I am going to carry a cigar in my two finger leather case I push the cello up, cut the cello across the top, push the cigar up and cut it so i can check the draw before it goes into the case with the cello to protect the wrapper. Nothing worse than being out and finding the only cigar you are carring is blocked! I'll give cutting the cello and the cap together a try.

I think the etiquette is half illusion (Gob!!) Of having plastic on there and half kind of saying "hey look I didn't slobber all over this cigar before I cut it." You'd be surprised how often guys lick the cigar then use a community cutter. ??

Well that part makes sense, in my mind I was thinking of it as cutting through the cello or regular cutting...but no slobbering was involved. Man, I really like that GIF too.

I tried it once. Didn't turn out very well. Tore the head to crap. But I think it was with one of those cheap disposable jobs.

Maybe I'm the odd man out here but honestly I haven't and still won't be offended if I hand my cutter to someone and they decide to make Jenna Jameson proud by what they do to the cigar before cutting it. It's such an infinitesimally small amount of spittle that actually comes into contact with the cutting surface that I just don't care. I'm also the guy that if I'm having a drink or a beer and start talking to the guy or girl next to me that I offer to share my drink. I'm not a germaphobe in any way and honestly this is just me, but seems a bit candy-assed pansy to me to be worried about a small amount of spittle on a cigar, or a beer or or or etc. Maybe I'm just weird, but I will simply not give a sh1t unless there's a massive loogie hanging off it lol.

I'm not a germaphobe...bit I deal with sick people erryday, so I like to take some precautions. I got strep and the flu just from being in the same room...so you can hang on to your spit

I get that some people have that preference. To put it into perspective though.... I have 3 autoimmune diseases. I'm not going to try to get sick but I'm also not going to be anal about stuff like that either, just ain't me.
