Q: What type of cigar cutter is best?

The best cigar cutter depends on personal preference. Guillotine and double blade cutters offer clean, straight cuts, V-cutters create a focused draw, and punch cutters provide a compact cutting option.

Q: Do cigar cutters affect the draw?

Yes. A proper cigar cutter helps preserve the cigar cap and allows consistent airflow, which contributes to an even and enjoyable draw.

Q: Can one cigar cutter be used for all cigar sizes?

Many cigar cutters are designed to accommodate a range of ring gauges, but larger cigars may perform better with wider cutters or V-cut styles.

Q: How do I properly cut a cigar?

To properly cut a cigar, remove only the cap just above the shoulder using a sharp cutter. Cutting too deeply can damage the wrapper and affect performance.
