Why not just select a smaller stick?

The larger sticks are blended and rolled to be smoked as a whole.

Yuppers.

There is a famous story from the CS days about a Lusitania being cut in half...I am sure it will surface here today.

A churchill is intended to be smoked as a churchill, not two short robustos.

You can never have too many cigars, they are like an investment in good times.

Well, that was what I was wondering, that makes sense. I may try it just because to see how the flavor and taste is, I really like those churchhills!

Totally agree.

I have cut many churchills down to various sizes and they have not been the same as having smoked them whole. The reason I have cut them has always had to do with just trying to resolve plugged cigars. Some have only needed a third or less cut and those have not differed as much. However, those that I have cut in half or more, have varied vastly from the original smoke experience of that cigar.
