Cigar Cutters

Guillotine, V-cut, or punch: every common way to open a cigar is here. A clean cut opens the cap and keeps the draw right; a ragged one tears the wrapper and the cigar unravels as you smoke, so the tool is worth getting right. The straight cut, or guillotine, is the workhorse: it takes the cap clean off, opens the fullest draw, and handles any ring gauge, which is why most smokers reach for one. A V-cut bites a wedge into the cap instead, for people who like a deeper channel and a more focused draw. A punch bores a small, neat hole, rides easily in a pocket, and is the hardest to botch, though it gives a tighter draw on a fat cigar. Plenty of smokers keep all three and grab whichever suits the stick in hand. What you’ll find at Cigar Grail runs from cheap, sharp cutters you won’t mind losing to heirloom pieces worth holding onto, in all three styles.
