Aficionado Tips On Cutting Cigars

When you first start smoking cigars, you may have some questions about how and why to properly cut them

. We're hopefully going to be able to clarify some of that confusion for you in this article. We'll try to do so by looking at the various devices used in the cutting of cigars. These devices are all referred to as cigar scissors. One in particular is called a guillotine. We'll also look at why you should cut the cigar to begin with. In the end, you should have a well rounded understanding of this process.

First, let's talk about how to use cigar scissors to cut a cigar. It's important to understand at the outset that which type of cigar scissors you use will directly affect the way your cigar smokes. It also has to do with what type of cigar you're cutting. For example, on a torpedo cigar, the more you cut, the stronger the cigar will be. That's because your smoke intake will be higher. As a general rule, you shouldn't cut any more than one eight of inch from a regular sized cigar.

There is a price to pay for that milder effect, though. Tar tends to accumulate near that hole. Some people avoid this type of cutter for precisely that reason, claiming that it adversely effects the taste of the cigar. If that turns out to be your own experience, then fortunately, there are several alternative cigar cutters available for your use. One of those alternatives is known as a "guillotine" or "straight cutter." It's a popular option for several reasons.

A wedge cutter is another type of cutter. You may have noticed that these cutters are often referred to by the shape of cut which they make. A wedge cutter, as its name implies, makes a "V" shaped cut, as opposed to a straight cutter. There's also a hole punch. This one puts a hole into the cap of the cigar. Some people say that this type of cutter has an adverse effect on the taste of the cigar, because the tar tends to accumulate near the hole that's been punched.

A hole punch cutter is also referred to as a "bullet." Lest you get the mistaken impression that it should always be avoided entirely, we will point out one of its strengths. If you're wanting to smoke a fuller bodied cigar without being overwhelmed, then this type of cutter can be a great choice, because it limits your smoke intake.
