CRQuarto hit the nail on the head;
I don't know about that Tom, the boy doesn't need anything else to swell his head too big! :sign: Just kidding Charlie...
Hey Gixxer, I used to do a straight cut on my cigars until Infinity showed me different. Moisten the amount you want to cut off, then if you have a guillotine cutter (or really any other cutter will do), rest the blades just above the end of the triple cap. Apply an equal amount of
light pressure to both sides, and while maintaining pressure, spin the cigar and rotate it. When I say "light," I mean light enough that you're not cutting the head off completely or cutting into the binder, but still firm enough to make an incision into the wrapper.
Once spun completely for 360 degrees, a tiny peice of the cap should be able to be taken right off. That way, you don't mutilate your cigars with the violent action of a straight cut, and you save some tobacco. I found a video that illustrates just how much to cut off when doing this:
