Cigar Cutters

Cigar cutters are a necessity for anyone seeking a good smoke. Not simply an accessory, you can’t even begin to smoke unless you one of these handy tools around. A good quality model with a very sharp bald is essential to getting a clean cut rather than a jagged and torn end that will definitely ruin even the nicest and most expensive tobacco. In the past there was the simple guillotine model. With this square model, you would simply stick the end of the tobacco inside and squeeze its ends together to make the cut. The pressure of your hand and the sharpness of the blade would determine how clean of cut you had.

Not too much has changed since then, after all you can still find those models everywhere. However, there a few recent additions that many people may prefer depending upon the feel and look of the blade.

For example, a V Cut model will create notches in the end of the tobacco rather than cutting straight through. Many believe this creates a better draw than a guillotine model. A bullet cutter will alternatively bore a hole into the end of the tobacco, which is much cleaner and can prevent bits of tobacco from coming off the end and going into your mouth. There are also scissor models, which provide a great deal of control, however they are not very transportable.

Many models now come ergonomically shaped as well to better fit the shape of your hand. Additionally, you can find many models that feature self-sharpening blades so you never have to worry about the blade going dull.
