Guillotine (cutter)
The device is easy to use. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with two common methods of cutting cigars with a guillotine:
- Place the device on a table. Place the cigar vertically with its open leg upwards in the hole between the blades so that the cap touches the table top. After that, you can make a slice.
- Insert the sealed end of the cigar into the hole of the guillotine, smoothly bring the blades to the cap and aim – mark the cutting line, then cut it off in one motion.
We recommend you to try both methods so you can decide which one is more convenient for you.
Scissors
This is a classic cigar cutter accessory. Perhaps every adult is familiar with the principle of working with scissors, so there is no point in disclosing this issue in detail. Before cutting off the hat, it is important to mark the cutting line just above the “shoulders”, and then smoothly bring the blades together. Good scissors should gently cut the tobacco leaves, not crush them. Note also that cigar accessories have a special configuration and can be supplied with other accessories, such as a cutter.
Punch
This tool is compact and easy to use. The punch is designed to make a neat hole in the cap. In order to do this, the instrument must be brought to the cigar and pressed or screwed into the sealed tip a few millimeters. The cut area of the pressed tobacco leaves is removed with the punch.
Such accessories are also available in different diameters, but they cannot be called universal. The fact is that the punch is convenient to use only when lighting straight type cigars with a wide and flat cap.
This tool will prove to be useful in the event that you have not become friends with scissors or a guillotine.
