Choosing a cigar cutter can look like a daunting challenge. there are so many to choose from: Guillotine, V-cut, cigar scissors, the list is endless. As a beginner choosing the right accessories is important as it can affect your smoking experience. Below I have listed five different cutters that I personally would recommend for beginners:
Vertigo by Lotus Lil Bro Closed Back Cigar Cutter - 60 Ring Gauge
Vertigo products are a great go to for beginners who don’t want to spend a lot of money on accessories and the Lil Bro closed back cigar cutter is perfect for a beginner. The double action makes for a clean cut every time and the closed back means you can’t cut off too much of the cigar cap.
The SV-Cut Cigar Cutter is a two-in-one combination of the insanely popular Colibri V-Cut and S-Cut cigar cutters.
The SV-Cut conveniently combines the V-Cut and S-Cut into one amazing cigar cutter without giving up any functionality or ease of use. The V-side of the SV-Cut uses the same blade as the original V-Cut and provides the identical clean “V”. The depth is easily regulated by holding the cigar head a bit further out—so cutting a smaller wedge out of lanceros or figurados is just as easy.
On the S-side (straight cut), the aperture is slightly larger and could accommodate up to a 68-70-ring cigar.
