How to cut a cigar correctly.

To properly cut a cigar, you will need a cigar cutter, which is a specialized tool designed specifically for cutting cigars. Here are the steps to cut a cigar correctly:


  1. Select the right cigar cutter: There are different types of cigar cutters, such as guillotine cutters, punch cutters, and V-cutters. Choose the one that suits your preferences and the type of cigar you are cutting.

  2. Identify the cigar cap: The cap is the rounded end of the cigar that is sealed with a small piece of tobacco leaf. It is important to cut just above the cap, where the cigar begins to widen.

  3. Position the cigar cutter: Hold the cigar firmly in one hand and position the cigar cutter at the desired cutting point, making sure to leave a little bit of the cap intact.

  4. Make the cut: Using a quick and decisive motion, cut the cigar with the cutter. Be careful not to crush or damage the cigar while cutting.

  5. Inspect the cut: Look at the cut end of the cigar to make sure it is clean and even. If you notice any loose tobacco or unevenness, you may need to make a second cut.

  6. Light the cigar: After cutting, light the cigar and enjoy.


Remember that cutting a cigar correctly is important for ensuring a smooth and enjoyable smoking experience. It may take some practice to get the cut just right, so take your time and be patient.
