How To Cut A Cigar

Before you can begin enjoying the refined relaxation offered by smoking a cigar

, you have to know how to cut it. This area can be quite confusing and the last thing you want to do is damage your cigar. How do you cut a cigar? If you're a fan of old movies, you likely have an image of macho men biting the end from their cigar. However, this is probably not the right option for you and will more than likely ruin your cigar. The best choice is to choose a quality cigar cutter, or a cigar lighter and cutter combination.

These combinations are usually in the form of a guillotine cutter and a butane torch lighter, both of which are highly recommended for cutting cigars. While you can use a pocketknife, your teeth or a pair of scissors to cut your cigars, you will find that a guillotine cutter works best. Why is this? The entire point of cutting a cigar is to create a smooth opening, wide enough to ensure an even flow of air through the cigar as you draw on it. However, if you rip or cut the cigar with a tool other than a cigar cutter, chances are good that you will create a ragged edge or make the hole too small.

A cigar cutter and cigar lighter combination can be the best way to ensure you are able to light the cigar immediately after cutting it. This helps you avoid fumbling for a lighter that you might have misplaced and they can also look very elegant. To use a guillotine cutter, simply insert the cap end of the cigar into the hole in the middle of the cutter. You will then need to depress the cutter blade by squeezing the plunger (the part that sticks out from the body). Doing this in a single, firm, fast motion will give you a clean cut and ensure that you are able to enjoy your cigar.

Finding the right cigar cutter and cigar lighter for your needs can be quite simple. Many online retailers offer high quality sets that can even be monogrammed with your initials (the better to keep them out of the hands of "borrowers"). With the right tools on your side, cutting cigars is not terribly difficult, but it does need to be done correctly in order to enjoy your smoking experience to the utmost and avoid the pitfalls of bad cuts.
