Looking back a little while was always die hard on leaving bands on as I smoked, now I don't get into that so much. Especially with real wide bands, your losing good smoke by not removing bands. Not to mention trying to take it off once you do notice it's getting in the way.

What's a habit you've changed over the years?

I no longer bite the cap off, use a knife, golf tee or some other crude method to cut my cigars.

[Haebar]

The first time I used a V-cutter (an inexpensive one) it ruined a couple of cigar heads. For that reason, I swore off v-cutters altogether, attributing it to bad design. Fast forward to about a year ago when my B&M owner/manager showed me his Xikar V-cutter. He said he carried it with him all the time and the paint was almost completely worn off of it. So I bought one and love it; it's the only cutter that I use. Gave one to my brother and he loves it too.

I used to light before I cut.

Wait, I still do that ...

Except perfectos. I light those with one match unless it's windy.

So did I. I only bought the Vintage '92 (and only the perfectos seconds at that) at all regularly, and my home-rolled Sumatra blend fills that flavor niche better for me. I bought a bunch of Edge Maduro lanceros once, and they were downright smokeable. But again my home rolled maduro blend fills that niche, even though I don't do lanceros. Yet ...

I stopped using the devil site to fill my humidors.

@Cigarer sent me my first RP that I smoked if you don't count the infused one they did with DE. It was a Vintage 1992 Churchill (I think) with some time in the humi. It was pretty dang spanky if I say so myself. Does anyone else seem to think that cigars taste better when they've been resting in someone else's humi and sent to you? I know mine are being stored properly, but I swear they taste better from others. Anyhow Cigarer, I'm still licking my chops looking at that AF Anejo 888 you sent me along with the others.....

[Cigarer]

Can't remember what size it was, and yes with some time on them I thought they were a solid smoke! I try to not go to gimmicky with cigars but if they are good what the heck? Ha, I'm surprised to hear that 888 made it this long!

I have a friend who adamantly insists that his favorite smokes are OPCs - Other People's Cigars.

He hasn't changed that habit, and it doesn't look likely that he's ever going to ...
