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.

El Septimo France Bordeaux is a wine-inspired luxury cigar from El Septimo’s Culinary Art Collection, crafted to capture the elegance of Bordeaux through an innovative aging technique. Two of its five filler leaves are aged in Bordeaux wine barrels, adding subtle vinous spice and added depth to the smoking experience.

This cigar is handmade with a Connecticut wrapper, an Ecuadorian Habano 2004 binder, and a multi-country filler blend featuring tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Brazil. The result is a refined profile that develops as you smoke, with a finish that feels layered and memorable.

On the palate, expect a bold and sophisticated combination of cedar, spice, leather, and espresso-like richness, with an aromatic complexity influenced by barrel-aged tobacco. This is an excellent choice for special occasions, collectors of El Septimo, and cigar smokers who enjoy premium craftsmanship with a distinctive story.
