Apologies & A Question about Cigar Clipping

Thank you very much for all the replies! (And I see there's at least one Airwolf fan on here.) I knew it was patently ridiculous. But, if you can believe it, I was the only one. Everyone else thought that's how it's done and no matter how many times I said it wasn't, they wouldn't believe me -- of course, clipping a cigar like that is simply what a loyal employee does for the boss. Ridiculous. Now I can go back to the discussion with this is what people who do smoke cigars say about the notion.
