 How to cut cigars and use a cigar cutter like a pro

Cutting cigars may seem simple, but those with less experience can make many mistakes that can ruin even the best high-end cigars.

There are many ways you can use a cigar punch. Nevertheless, the most important thing is to use it correctly without ruining the cigar. Knowing where to cut your cigar is vital because if done wrong, the flavour will be diminished and may detract from the whole experience. Plus, a bad cut will ruin the wrapper and completely take it apart!

On the other hand, if you really don't know how to cut a cigar, you could be ruining your ability to smoke it properly, which can ruin the experience. For most cigar lovers, cutting cigars with the best V-Cut cigar cutter is part of the whole "ritual". In order to create your own little ritual, it is vital to know how to make a smooth cut.

Cigar culture thrives on variety. As well as having a myriad of great cigar brands to choose from, cigar lovers have access to the best cigar cutters to suit their tastes and requirements. There are also many ways to cut cigars, creating a more unique whole experience for each individual.

Straight or guillotine cutter: this is the easiest cigar cutter to use. You simply pass the cigar through the hole and squeeze the single-edged straight cutter to make a clean cut. For some people, these simple accessories are the best cigar cutters. Guillotine cutters can also be equipped with a double blade to help you provide a cleaner cut and help you avoid tearing the wrapper.

Perforated cutters: How do you cut cigars with a perforated cutter? Quite simply, they punch a hole in the end of the cigar without removing the cap. This is a different type of cut that eliminates the problem of loose fillers or tobacco coming out of the cigar during the draw. Some say these are the best cigar cutters because they are easier to use. However, they are not suitable for smaller sized cigars as they may be too thin to allow the cutting tool to actually work on them.
V-Cutter : Similar to a punch cutter, these do not cut the entire end. the V-Cutter cuts a small slice into the tip of the cigar, creating a small but more concentrated V-cut. Some cigar enthusiasts prefer them as they also leave more of the cigar intact, reducing the problem of filler and loose tobacco. The only problem is that the drawing ability is somewhat compromised. This problem can simply be solved by creating a larger 'notch', but if you cut too deep, the draw will be too much, making the cigar burn much hotter than initially expected.

Cigar cutters: Special cigar cutters are the obvious choice for those who want to make their 'ritual' a stylish experience. However, you will only be able to keep them as sharp as possible if you use a high quality stainless steel option. Using poor quality blades or not taking proper care of your scissors can lead to poor cuts, torn wrappers and an overall less than pleasant smoking experience.

Some enthusiasts simply use a cigar cutter and cut straight away. However, some professionals will slightly moisten the cap with their mouth before cutting. This is not a critical step, but it can help you make a smoother cut when the leaf is too dry. Even with the best cigar cutters on the market, too dry a leaf will prevent you from making a clean cut.

This looks simple on paper, but it does take some skill. The truth is that whenever you cut a cigar you are only one step away from the perfect cut. Most experts will advise that leaving a little bit behind when cutting your cigar confidently with your preferred tool is the best way to go.

When this happens, you will be able to make the cleanest cut possible for each type of cigar.

Also, take the time to try out each cigar cutter type to find the one that works best for you.
Here are some expert tips for the perfect cut.

Cut quickly
Don't hesitate. Make confident and quick cuts. Hesitating and re-centering the blade is likely to cause the wrapper to tear and pull.
Even then, unwrapping the cigar is not a big problem, but it may cause some annoyance.

Don't cut too deep
Where do I cut the cigar? As we have discussed, you need to find the best position over the angle of the end cap that allows you to draw properly from the cigar, but not too deep to get good access to the wrapper.

Sharpen your cutter regularly
A dull cigar cutter will never allow you to make a clean cut. When the blade starts to wear out, try sharpening it or replacing it if needed. Whichever route you take, avoid using a dull cutter whenever possible.
