Haters, the lot of them.

It is the way to cut a cigar that is taking the world by storm.

It was developed after watching with horror what some people did to the caps of their cigars, lopping off 1/8" or more.

Step one:
Find a cigar that has a nice rounded cap for best results. Will not work on torpedo or belicoso cigars, though I confess I have never tried.



Step two:
Place cutter gently and barely into the sides of the top of cap. While holding the cutter there, rotate the cigar.



Step three:
Peel off the cap. The cap should just pop off with the cutter, I left a tad bit uncut to show that the cap is coming off but there was no filler cut at all.



Final result:
Should be a very clean cut of just the cap without destroying any filler and leaving the remainder of the cap intact to avoid unraveling of the wrapper.



And Darrell knows where the name comes from, one of the greatest movies of all time.
