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.

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.

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.

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.

Blend Details: We handcraft this cigar in Costa Rica from El Septimo's proprietary long-aged tobaccos, aged for years and drawn from the house's own high-elevation farms. Part of the Luxus Collection, it is finished with a Costa Rican Maduro wrapper over tobaccos aged roughly nine years. We present specific wrapper, binder, and filler leaves only where El Septimo officially discloses them, and beyond the Maduro wrapper those details are not published, so we describe the rest of the blend by its character: rich, deep, and full of aged tobacco character.
