The rise of the punch style cigar cutter

There has been an emerging trend for lighter and thinner cigar cutters as cigar accessory manufacturers wised up to the fact a lot of cigar smoking happens on the move.

What makes this style of cigar cutters so popular is that it’s is very user and travel friendly, it can attach to your key ring or your caribena if you are in the wilderness for a few days, which limits the chance of you losing it.

This cigar cutter is pretty much impossible to lose (as long as it’s attached first!) and very user friendly as the cutter is pretty much immune to messing up your stogie.

With a punch style cigar cutter you press the circular blades into the head of your chosen cigar, turn gently, and that’s it, a small amount of cap is removed ready for you to light up and enjoy.

Many aficionados are opting for this perforation because it leaves much of the cap intact and feels smooth on the lips when smoking. The small hole allows smoke to flow smoothly to the palate, whilst also reducing the exposure of the binder and filler, this reduces the chance of loose tobacco flying into your mouth.

If you find the tiny ring results in tar build up this may be because you are drawing too quickly, relax, puff slowly and saviour your stogie.
