Product Information

Cigar cutting is an art. Well, it’s an art that is a bit hard to mess up but if you butcher a cigar too badly, it can sour an experience with a coveted cigar. Your cigar cutting can effect more than you would expect: the taste, the smoke output, and even the burn. Is there really much else? A v-cutter is a single guillotine with a curved or v-shaped blade. Its cut creates a wedge-shaped channel narrower (and cleaner) than a guillotine's straight-cut, with a draw that's fuller than a punch. If a cigar is cut in the wrong area or you made multiple attempts at cutting, the wrapper may unravel which means you won’t be able to smoke the cigar. Using a cutter correctly will prevent this. Enhance Airflow The idea is to cut an even, straight cut across the cap is going to provide more burn and smoke because more air will be traveling through the cigar.The only issue with these cutters is from time to time tobacco can fall off into your mouth, this is easily cleaned off before smoking though. After you have lined it up properly and are happy, slowly bring the blades down then apply enough force to cut the cap in one fluid motion.The desired result is a perfectly clean cut. If there is any tobacco this is easily pulled off. Now you are ready to smoke! V-Cut Cigar Cutter

How To: Cutters – Colibri

Another type of cigar cutter that James J. Fox provides is the punch out cigar cutter, as seen with the S.T. Dupont Maxijet. This bullet punch cigar cutter comes with the ability of being fitted onto a keychain for your convenience. Once the circular blade has been exposed, you can successfully open your cigar in a minimally invasive way. The key thing is to not push the cigar right into the cutter, most quality v-cutters will have a limit as to how far you can push the cigar in.This way you cannot ruin the cigar. Place the cigar in the cutter and make sure it is straight.Heavy duty and sharp blade helps with larger gauges; for a smaller gauge cigar ( anything less than 60) we recommend the 7mm version Normally v-cut cutters like these are difficult to repair since they are quite elaborate in terms of mechanical design Another great product by a very reputable brand. The Xikar Titanium Finish is a fantastic guillotine-style cutter featuring self-sharpening blades, ergonomic design, and a lifetime warranty. Using a Guillotine Cigar Cutter If you like a plain and simple cigar cutter this is for you. If you prefer to do things manually then the Xikar MTXis a great cutter. Punch Cutters

With only two types of guillotine cutters, a single blade or double blade the comparison between them is relatively easy. Single BladeA V Cut cutter can be a bit more difficult to operate but is still widely used. However, they are not as popular as a guillotine cutter. A V-cut cutter makes a wedge in the cigar as opposed to a hole from a punch or a clean slice from a guillotine cutter. Guillotine cutters are also known as a traditional cutter. These are definitely the most popular cutter types and for good reason. They are very easy to use, store, and have exceptionally sharp blades giving you a sharp cut every time.
