Cigar Cutters: Trimming the end of a premium cigar can be done in many ways and makes a massive difference to the smoking character of the cigar. If done badly the cigar will smoke uneven and in extreme cases can totally unravel.
Xikar V-Cut Cutter: The fashion in preparing a Cigar over the last decade has swayed towards the guillotine method as V cutters have almost become extinct but as we all know trends change and we have been asked for more and more for V Cutters recently. So we saw these and snapped them up. A very reasonable priced cigar cutter from a reputable brand.
The attractive metal V-Cut will handle cigar caps up to 64 Ring Gauge. XIKAR’s V-Cut has the finest workmanship and inverted blade design produces a clean cut every time. The VX Metal V-Cut Cutter produces a unique wedge shaped notch on the cigar cap just press the two side buttons and the spring loaded blade opens up, insert the cap and close the cutter to cut a wedge shaped hole in the cap.
Some Cigar enthusiasts prefer a neat wedge cutting out of the tip of the Cigar sometimes referred to as “cats-eye”. This maintains the outer structure of the Cigar and can prevent those pieces of the wrapper dislodging during the early stages of the smoke.
