Types of Cigar Cutters

When it comes to the cigar cutting game, the object is to create an opening that’s ample and smooth without damaging the structure of the cigar and cigar cutters are a common accessory that every ardent smoker should have. Cigar cutters are used to create openings at the head of the stick, to allow the smoke and air to pass through. The head is the part of the cigar that goes into your mouth and can be identified by the cap on it.

Types of Cigar Cutters

Straight Cutters/Guillotine - Double-blade straight cutters are embraced by cigar smokers thanks to their precision and ability to make the cleanest of cuts. The cutting happens from both sides simultaneously giving it an even edge. Cutting your cigar using a double-bladed guillotine can also deter the wrapper from getting torn.

V-Cut/Wedge Cutter - Instead of cutting off the head completely, the V-cutter makes a notched hole made by a uniquely shaped blade. This design removes any risk of cutting too deep into your cigar and provides a generous surface that allows you to draw sufficient air, without exposing the mouth to loose debris.

Punch Cutter - Like the wedge cutter, a punch cutter does not completely cut the cap off. Instead, it creates a hole in the cap using a sharp, circular blade which creates an opening.

Cigar Scissors - These scissors are designed for the specific purpose of cigar cutting. The blades entailed in the special scissors are designed from high-quality stainless steel that guarantees clean cuts.
