After getting up and making sure my cigar cutter didn&#8217;t shatter in my pocket, I read the flyer and it said, \u201cImprovisation for Non-Listeners. Friday-Sunday in the back room of the McDonald\u2019s on Alton Road. Yes you read that right. No the location changes every week\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1372\" height=\"772\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image.jpg 1372w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-746x420.jpg 746w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1372px) 100vw, 1372px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo by: Wei Shi<br>Lincoln Road Mall<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting all qualms of location aside, I was intrigued. I\u2019ve done improv before. I\u2019ve been to a bunch of improv shows, but you know what? Everyone was listening. But I thought, \u201cYou know, if they can teach improv to non-listeners, why can\u2019t I teach cigar cutting to non-smokers?&#8221; Or even people who do smoke but don\u2019t have a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/cutters\" target=\"_blank\">cutter<\/a> on hand. You don\u2019t need to be a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/cigar-aficionados-complete-travel-kit\" target=\"_blank\">cigar aficionado<\/a> to join my course. And lucky for you, you\u2019re already registered! You don\u2019t even have to leave your house, or even download Zoom \u2122. No Zoom \u2122 bombers on this lecture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, welcome to Cigar Cutting for Non Smokers. If you\u2019ve signed up for this course, you\u2019re probably looking to fulfill a requirement in your catalogue for \u201cGeneral Cigar Studies\u201d. You\u2019ve come to the right place. You don\u2019t need a book, you don\u2019t need paper, all you need is everyday things you can find around the house, or, even, on your person. And, you\u2019re also gonna need several of your favorite #QuarantineCigars. Might be the same<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/cigars\" target=\"_blank\"> cigars<\/a> you were smoking before we were sheltered in place. Either way, get \u2018em out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let\u2019s get right into it, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/student-life-transition-high-school-college.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32260\"\/><figcaption><em>Full speed ahead<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LESSON ONE: SCISSORS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1599\" height=\"1044\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/multi-purpose-knife-1427665-1599x1043-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/multi-purpose-knife-1427665-1599x1043-2.jpg 1599w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/multi-purpose-knife-1427665-1599x1043-2-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/multi-purpose-knife-1427665-1599x1043-2-1536x1003.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/multi-purpose-knife-1427665-1599x1043-2-696x454.jpg 696w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/multi-purpose-knife-1427665-1599x1043-2-1068x697.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/multi-purpose-knife-1427665-1599x1043-2-643x420.jpg 643w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1599px) 100vw, 1599px\" \/><figcaption><em>For responsible adults only<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re gonna start with something simple. A pair of scissors. Yes, they can be regular office scissors. You don\u2019t need any <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/cutters\/cutters-scissor\" target=\"_blank\">special cigar cutting scissors<\/a>. Take the scissors and align the two blades right below the cap. The cap of your cigar is part of the wrapper leaf and it\u2019s typically very thin and easy to remove. And just cut in a circle around the cap till you can just peel it off. Light it up, draw it out, enjoy! Lesson one, done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LESSON TWO: POKE WITH A KNIFE (or any other sharp&#8217;ish object):<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2810-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32263\" width=\"580\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2810-web.jpg 650w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2810-web-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2810-web-569x420.jpg 569w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><figcaption><em>This is a cigar cutter&#8230;we&#8217;re not perfect<\/em><br><em>*Photo by: Carlos Gastelbondo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, of course, if your kids are around, this may not be a #QuarantineActivity that\u2019s exactly right for them, but while they\u2019re off in the den playing games, we can get down to business. Take any knife off the rack and you\u2019ll see how it can cut more than just the vegetables you\u2019re trying to hide in your children&#8217;s mac and cheese. The key here is to carefully create an opening in the cap without causing the wrapper to crack or the end of the cigar to undo itself. Apply a small amount of pressure when you\u2019re inserting the tip of a sharp end. More pressure when it&#8217;s not super sharp (maybe the knife sharpener&#8217;s on lockdown too. No judgements from us). You don\u2019t want to poke too deep or too much. The cigar is like a fine piece of china. Treat it with the respect and care it deserves. Peel the cap off. Light it up, draw it out, enjoy! Lesson two, finished!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LESSON THREE: FINGERNAIL:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2840-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2840-web.jpg 650w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2840-web-629x420.jpg 629w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption><em>We recommend using the fingernail you&#8217;ve been growing during Quarantine<\/em><br><em>*Photo by Carlos Gastelbondo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, that was not a typo. This is something that everyone has! And even if ya don\u2019t, borrow your significant other\u2019s, or your parent\u2019s, or any of your sharp fingered pets that might be lounging around the house wondering when these humans are just gonna take them out to walk already. Anyway, this one&#8217;s simple. Take the fingernail and just cut around the cap. Easy enough. Might wanna clean it though before you go strumming any guitars or doing whatever other activities one does with a fingernail these days. We suggest having a dedicated cigar cutting fingernail, preferably the right index. Light it up, draw it out, enjoy! Lesson three, completed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LESSON FOUR: TEETH:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"815\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2826-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2826-web.jpg 650w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/CGP_2826-web-335x420.jpg 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption><em>Might not have been able to cut it, but it sure tasted good<\/em><br><em>*Photo by Carlos Gastelbondo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t knock it till you try it! The fact is, people have been cutting their cigars with their teeth for decades. You don&#8217;t even have to sharpen them first. Bite down gently on the cigar cap to remove a little from the cigar. Once there&#8217;s a little opening, you can peel the rest of the cap off with your fingers. We suggest not watching any food videos while you do this because you may not really want to drool all over your cigar. And who wouldn&#8217;t drool over that nice seared steak that Gordon Ramsay just pulled off the grill?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogcutter1-730x450-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogcutter1-730x450-2.jpg 730w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogcutter1-730x450-2-356x220.jpg 356w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogcutter1-730x450-2-696x429.jpg 696w, https:\/\/mikescigars.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dogcutter1-730x450-2-681x420.jpg 681w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption><em>Your adorable, cigar-loving dog&#8230;probably<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And just like that, you&#8217;ve reached the end of the course.
