Mercedes-Benz Vehicles, Concept Cars, and the Mercedes Lifestyle

Whether it’s Mercedes Benz vehicles or an understanding of fine wines, there are some things that mark a refined lifestyle. While not everyone enjoys a good cigar, cigars are nevertheless becoming an increasingly popular sign that you have reached a certain level of sophistication.

Part of cigar smoking is understanding cigar cutters. Cigar cutters can be a tricky thing to navigate. There are several different types of cigar cutters. There is the punch cutter and the guillotine cutter, as well as the V-cutter. Everyone has their own opinion about what cutter is the best.

Each cigar cutter type has its pros and cons. The punch cutter, for example, is the easiest to use. The punch cutter also makes the cleanest cut in your cigar. The guillotine cutter is the only type of cutter you can use if you smoke a torpedo cigar, so it has its place, as well. V-cutters work well, but can lead to moisture collecting at the cigar tip.

Cutting a cigar with a punch cutter is relatively easy. You simply push and twist the circular blade of the punch cutter until it’s around an eight of an inch deep. From there, you’ll pull it out.

A guillotine cutter is a bit more difficult to use. The best way to use your guillotine cutter is to take off the tip of the cigar on a curve. You want to avoid taking the entire cap off at a right angle. Carefully pierce the tobacco on the cap, and slowly rotate your cigar until the cap is removed. This allows you to cut the cigar without causing it to start to unravel. Many cigar aficionados prefer a guillotine cutter with double blades. They believe that the double bladed guillotine makes a much cleaner cut than the guillotine with just a single blade.

Like your choice of vehicle, your choice of cigar cutter is, in the end, very much about personal preferences. You should try different cutters until you find one that you can effectively use, and one that is to your liking.
