Does It Matter If I Bite The End Off My Cigar?

Cigars that are closed at the head - the part that goes in your mouth - need to be cut. All hand-made cigars are closed at the head, as are some machine-made ones.Cutting your cigar is more important than you might think. A bad cut can badly damage or render the cigar virtually useless.
A badly cut cigar can impair the enjoyment of your smoke by creating a bad draw, or even causing the wrapper to unroll. Therefore, a straight, even cut should be made close to the head of the cigar without taking the entire cap. The cap is that part of the cigar where a small piece of tobacco was placed at the head which keeps the wrapper from unrolling. If this is completely cut off the wrapper will unroll and make your cigar useless.
The only way to cut a cigar was to bite the end, pinch it with finger and thumb nail, cut with a knife, or puncture the end. These are still the only methods, but some are better than others. Now there are numerous devices which have been developed to insure a good cut.
