How do you cut a cigar?
When it comes to cutting a cigar, there are a hella of options available. But let's face it, not all cigar cuts are created equal. Some are like a fancy hairdo, sleek and precise, while others are more like a DIY haircut, a bit rough around the edges. So without further ado, here are the different types of cigar cuts, complete with their benefits.
The Straight Cut: The straight cut is like a classic bob hairdo, it's sleek, elegant, and timeless. It's the most popular and traditional way to cut a cigar. All you need is a sharp cutter and you're good to go. Just be sure to cut the cigar straight across the cap, leaving a small amount of the cap intact. This will help prevent the cigar from unraveling (which really sucks!) and provide a smooth draw.
The Punch Cut: The punch cut is like a pixie haircut, it's small and compact, perfect for a quick smoke. This type of cut is made with a small circular cutter, which creates a small hole in the cap of the cigar. This is a great option for those who don't want to carry a cutter with them, as the punch cutters are small and easy to carry. For example I keep a punch cut on my car keys.
The V-Cut: My favorite is the V-cut is like an angled bob hairdo, it's modern and edgy. This type of cut is made with a V-shaped cutter, which creates a V-shaped notch in the cap of the cigar. This type of cut is great for those who want to maximize the flavor of their cigar, as it allows for a larger draw, which can enhance the flavors of the cigar.
The Guillotine Cut: The guillotine cut is like a mullet haircut, it's bold and daring. This type of cut is made with a guillotine cutter, which cuts the cigar straight across the cap, but it also cuts the cigar at an angle, which can create a larger draw and enhance the flavors of the cigar. If you're not careful with this cut you may fuck around and find out you, have a bunch of tobacco leaves in your teeth!
The Scissor Cut: The scissor cut is like a layered haircut, it's versatile and easy to do. This type of cut is made with a pair of scissors, which can be used to make precise cuts on the cigar. This is a great option for those who want to be in complete control of the cut, as it allows for more precision and customization.
In conclusion, cutting a cigar is an important aspect of the cigar smoking experience, and there are many different ways to do it. Whether you're looking for a sleek and elegant straight cut or a bold and daring guillotine cut, there is a cut out there for you. Take the time to enjoy each stick, and make sure you complement it with a premium libations to enhance the experience!
P.S. Do not be afraid to try out different cuts (do not experiment with your A grade smokes) until you find the one that works for you the best.
