Cigar Accouterments: Is This Really "The Perfect Cigar Cutter?"



The sales pitch:

Perfect Cigar Cutter is uniquely designed to cut the exact amount of tobacco from the head of any cigar, including Figurado and Torpedo shaped cigars. This patent pending cigar cutter is an exclusive that was designed by our engineers for every cigar smoker, from the novice to the aficionado. Never guess how much of the cigar's head you need to cut for a perfect smoking cigar. ... Just insert the cigar's head into the large opening, hold it in the calibrated chamber and clip off the exact amount every time. The cut-off tobacco remains in the cutter's chamber until you open the cutter to properly discard them. The cigar cutter's body is solidly made with brushed stainless steel. The self-sharpening double blades are made with surgical grade stainless steel and cut cigar ring gauges of up 54.

But is it really "perfect?" It's pretty darn close. The Perfect Cutter has done a fine job on the many cigars, and many types of cigars, I have used with it. The edges on the handles could be smoothed down a bit, but otherwise, it's great. Since getting one, I've lost track of all my other cigar cutters, I don't need them anymore. You can get one at Cuban Crafters for $14.99.

Thanks for sharing the information regarding cigar cutter.Basically cigar cutters are used to penetrate the cap of a cigar before smoking it.The most basic type of cutter used to make straight cuts is the single blade guillotine.
