I carefully put the cuttin board on the counter top...Selected my best meat cleaver, an checked it for sharpness... No dull blade for this..Usin scotch tape I firmly fastened that CHURCHILL to the cuttin board...Then I put a dotted line through the middle of that cigar..I picked up that meat cleaver, an with a smile swung quickly down choppin that CHURCHILL cleanly in HALF...A 2fer...just like steaks
