What Types Of Tools Are Available To Cut A Cigar?

Smoking a cigar is a relaxing, enjoyable experience

. However, before you can begin enjoying that aromatic smoke, you will need to cut the cigar - and the last thing you want to do is damage your cigar. Before using a torch lighter to ignite the foot, you must cut the head (the cap). What tools can you find available to do the job? Actually, there are numerous options on the market, though some are certainly better than others are at clipping the cap off your next smoke. What options should you consider and which should you avoid?

Guillotine: A single blade guillotine cutter can be a great option for your needs. However, you might opt for a double bladed version instead, as this provides a cleaner cut. Before attempting to light up with your torch lighter, make sure that the cigar is cut cleanly and that you are able to cut a straight line through the cap.

Cigar Scissors: These tools look really neat and can work quite well if you know what you're doing. However, they require far more practice than you might imagine and using a pair of scissors is harder than using a torch lighter without butane at times. For instance, if you turn your hands (torque the scissors) even slightly, you will end up tearing the cigar and ruining the smoke.

V-Cutters: V-cutters are unique cigar cutting tools. However, it is best to avoid these types of cutters and opt for a straight blade device. V-cutters can create ragged openings in the head of your cigar that do nothing to enhance your smoking experience. In addition, you will find that the smoke is condensed in the center of the cigar, resulting in some nasty moisture buildup right at your mouth.

Knives: Using knives to cut cigars has been done for quite a long time. However, just as choosing the right torch lighter, picking the right knife is essential. You should ensure that the blade is kept as sharp as possible and that you do not oil the blade, as this can transfer the oil to the cigar, lessening the taste of your smoke.

Finding the right options for cutting cigars can be as difficult as finding the perfect torch lighter to use. However, if you remember that the cut needs to be clean, straight and even, you'll find that the options are a bit less confusing. With a bit of searching, you will find the perfect cutter.
