luvdunhill Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Just curious - when slow smoking though a 50 cabinet, say 3-5 cigars a year... do you re-tie the ribbons to make sure the now-slightly-smaller bundle stays together, or just leave the ribbon and cigars to their own devices?

JZBdano Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I leave them as is with paper in place so when I get to a new row I can pull them up with the paper if they've nestled in tight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieninja Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I cut them. Too much work to untie. Then I can just grab an end and pull if it comes to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester21 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I leave them to their own devices until they become a pita then they go in the trash. However they become useful if you have to combine boxes for storage issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabes Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 When necessary remove the ribbon from the cab and use it to tidy up your customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 no longer a novelty for me, I untie and remove......... for those of you who are adventurous,I remember seeing several neat items made from box ribbons,including a smoking jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLiquidGator Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I take the yellow ribbon and try to wrap it around the 100 year old oak tree in my backyard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Re-tie? Now why on earth would I want to do that? OCD indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have ever taken the cigar out of the middle of a nice aged bundle of cigars, you know why. Maximize surface area contact, yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximize surface area contact, yo.If you're able to taste the difference, you should enter the blind tasting contest - you would crush it For the record, I never open the ribbon at all - neither cut nor untie. Just pull out a stick at a time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
