Cigar Cutters

Choose your cigar cutter format

Compare the cutting action and handling you prefer, then check the individual product specification for fit. Ring-gauge capacity is model-specific, not a guarantee for every cutter of the same format.

Guillotine: a straight cut

Cut style: Blades slice across the cap. Fit: Choose an opening suited to your cigar’s ring gauge and shape; our guillotine listings include models for standard and oversized cigars. Draw: Creates an open cut across the head rather than a punched hole or V-shaped channel. Suits: Buyers who prefer a straight cut and a choice of cutter sizes.

Punch: a circular opening

Cut style: A circular blade makes a round opening. Fit: Punch diameter matters as well as cigar size. The adorini Double Punch offers 9 mm and 13 mm blades; the Crusher offers 7 mm, 9 mm and 14 mm blades. Check the chosen model’s suitability for your cigar’s head shape. Draw: Opens a circular passage; the catalogue does not establish a comparative draw rating. Suits: Buyers who prefer a punched opening, with compact keyring and folding options available.

V-cut: a wedge-shaped incision

Cut style: Makes a V-shaped or “cat’s eye” cut. Fit: The listed Colibri V-Cut and Honest Solid Metal V-Cutter accommodate cigars up to 54 ring gauge. Draw: The wedge creates a focused channel rather than a full straight-cut opening. Suits: Buyers who prefer a V-shaped cut.

Scissors: a controlled blade cut

Cut style: Scissor blades cut the cigar cap. Fit: Our Value Cigar Scissors are specified for cigars up to 52 ring gauge; do not assume unlimited capacity from the scissor format. Draw: The listing describes a clean cut but provides no comparative draw rating. Suits: Buyers who prefer scissor handling and an ergonomic grip.

Care

Protect blades and finishes during storage with a suitable case. On the silver Adorini Double Punch with an ejector rod, use the rod to push out leftover tobacco after use.
