Cigar Cutter
Cutting a Cigar
One of the mistakes that many people make when they begin smoking cigars is cutting those cigars improperly. For those who haven’t been around the cigar culture for any length of time, this can be a confusing process. Many people try the old “bite and spit” method of getting their cigars ready. They will actually bite the end off the cigar and then spit the end onto the ground, their hand, or the ashtray. Not only is this considered rude in most circles, there is a good chance that you will ruin your cigar when you do this. You need to cut the cigar correctly, and the best way to do this is with a proper cutter or a torch cigar lighter and cutter combo.
The combination cutter is a great tool that includes not only something to cut your cigar, but also something with which you can light it. Of course, you might not have one of these cutters handy. If that is the case, then you can always resort to a pair of scissors or even a knife. If you choose to use a knife, be careful so that you don’t cut yourself by mistake.
You can use other items to cut your cigars ” everything from pocketknives to scissors is workable. However, you will find that the professional cutters simply work much better and will provide you with a much cleaner cut. When you have a clean cut, you can be sure that the cigar will be easier to smoke and you won’t inadvertently ruin it.
Using the cutter is easy. It has a blade and a plunger. You put the end of the cigar that would go into your mouth into the hole of the cutter and then press the plunger down. Make sure that you use a single, fluid motion when you depress the plunger, as that will give you the best cut possible. You can then discard the end of the cigar in the ashtray or the trash. When you have the proper tools at your disposal, you will find that cutting the cigar is just a simple matter.
You can find cigar cutters as well as the combination cutter/lighter in the same places that you would find other accessories. Many options are available online, and you can find them in a variety of styles to suit your needs. If you take cigar smoking seriously, you can’t do without one.
