FWIW I suspect you know this to be true.
Absolutely, but unless the misspelled, or misused word creates a problem with my understanding of a post,
and sometimes it does, I don't correct them, because it just seems sort of rude
to me, especially if I am not sure whether the poster is a native speaker or not. And, by no means am I telling others what is rude and what is not rude. Far be it for me to be the rude police, ha ha. I compensate by being rude in other ways, but I don't mean to be. :

That said, and to keep it on track. I had never thought of the cut nib of the cigar having binders in it. Thanks Zekest. Also, keep in mind that there are different types of leaf in the different parts of a cigar's anatomy. The filler can be completely different from the wrap, and there can be layers under the wrap of different types of leaf. So, if you just start cutting up cigars, you may or may not get something "known." It could be good, it could suck. But, if you think that by cutting up a madura cigar and blend it, that madura leaf makes for a good or bad blend, you might be completely offbase, because you had really been using something completely different than you thought.
I hope that makes sense.
I was also using the cut ends of my cigars for little surprise flavors in my smokes, like mortonbriar said. But, with what zekest has pointed out, it might just be some chemical binder that I am enjoying, ha ha.
