Cello on or off? BUT this is Cutting the stick

I heard that leaving the cello on while cutting and smoking is how the true aficionado does it. Especially when the cello has been on for awhile and develops a yellow tinge. You don't want to waste all the oil residue left on the cello

On a serious note. I might try it but it seems it would be more of a hassle. Don't change if not broken.
