Gureto - Cigar tip
 
Hi I love cigars but have only really smoked King Edwards. I thought I should try Romeo Y Julieta. I went on line to look at cigar cutters as these need to be cut.

I heard someone explaining about the tip of a cigar and he said in Spanish it is called a gureto. I think that is what he said. I have tried looking this up. If someone can correct me on this and give me an English translation that would be great.

Thanks

I didn't get any hits on 'gureto'.

I found that 'the tip of a cigar' is said, "El extremo de un puro/cigarro."
A tip cutter is "el cortapuros" or "el cortador de puros."

No you wouldn't get any hits on gureto that is what it sounded like.

Cubierto maybe? Sometimes Caribbean Spanish (Cuban for example) swallows syllables creating a kind of impressionist version of the language.

The tip of the cigar that has to be cut is "perilla".
I'll speculate here: The only thing I can think similar to "gureto" is "gorrito" ("little cap", like this one http://forums.tomisimo.org/picture.p...&pictureid=930). At first I'd say it's improbable you'd hear that, since that would be a word someone who knows nothing about cigars would use. Yet, I just found the word in English is "cap", so if the person was translating without using the jargon, it could be. :thinking:

Thanks for all your help. I feel that I should pronounce things properly.
