Cigar cutters are devices used for cutting, penetrating or removing one end of the cigar commonly called as the cap to smoke properly. There are certain types of cigars which have to be cut in both ends but the common hand made cigars generally require a cut or hole in one end of the cap. Most cigars which are hand rolled will have a cap which is rounded and does not expose the tobacco inside. The cap area is made by pasting one or two small pieces of the wrapper by using a conventional tobacco paste or flour and water mixture. This cap may be cut with a scissor or even bitten off but cutting off the cap unevenly will result in a bad smoking experience as the cigar will not burn properly and also may also result in the loss of smokeable tobacco. Usually, cigar manufacturers use different type of tobacco along the length of the cigar to give the smoker a very good and different experience. It also gives different tastes and a variety of flavor. In case, if the end is badly peeled off then it may result in the loss of tobacco in this end.
So, in order to avoid these problems, the use of cigar cutters became popular. There are three different types of cigar cutters depending on the type of cut it makes. They are straight cigar cutter, wedge cigar cutter and hole punch cigar cutter. From the names, one can see that the straight cigar cutter makes a straight cut, wedge cutter makes a v-shaped wedge and hole punch puts a hole in the cigar to open the cap.
