How To Clip Your Cigars Properly

Although every cigar aficionado has their own proven method, here are some basic guidelines to get you started on how to clip a cigar properly?

First, closely examine the head, or closed end, of the cigar. This is the part of the cigar that will need to be clipped. Determine where the 'cap' is. The cap refers to the part of the cigar where the tobacco leaf was used to close the cigar. Once you've found the cap, determine its length. As a general rule, you should not cut any further than the end of the cap. If you cut further than the cap, there's a good chance your cigar will unravel!

Use a good quality clipper to cut the head at the cap. You don't want a cheap cutter or a bad cutter as it will destroy a good cigar. You can purchase a special cigar cutter at your local tobacco shop that is designed to make clean cuts. When buying a high quality cutter, look for steel blades that's hardened to a Rockwell C rating of 56, the result is the hardest, sharpest blade you can buy. Remember, a cigar cutter is integral to the enjoyment of a good cigar.

Once you have your cutter, hold your cigar at eye level and make a fast and decisive cut just above the cap, you need to do this in one swift move. Don't be afraid to make a pre-cutting motion with the cutter to gain confidence. Less is more when cutting--if you find your cut is too superficial, simply cut down a bit more.

Cigars, Whiskey and Winning: Leadership Lessons from General Ulysses S. Grant

Cigars, Whiskey and Winning: Leadership Lessons from General Ulysses S. Grant
Long before leadership became identified as the catalyst for corporate success, the Civil War's winning general was showing the world how dynamic leadership is the crucial determinant of victory or defeat.

Ulysses S. Grant never sought fame of glory, nor did he try to tie his performance to personal reward. Instead, he concentrated on contribution and service. He looked upon being given increased responsibility not as increasing his power, but as increasing his ability to get the job done. "The great thing about Grant...is his perfect correctness and persistency of purpose." (Abraham Lincoln)

In this masterful retelling of Grant's story, Al Kaltman draws on Grant's writings and life experiences to present a series of practical lessons on how to get superior performance from the troops.

Going beyond mere "how-to's", Cigars, Whiskey & Winning deals with character traits, core beliefs, and fundamental values to reveal the secrets to becoming a winning leader that are as much about "who to be" as "what to do". And there isn't a chart, table, or checklist in sight-just a handy index of lessons for ready inspiration on demand.
