Choosing the right tool to cut your cigars can seem like an overwhelming choice when you look at all of the different possibilities available. You want to find something that will give you the best cut possible, a cut that is clean and will allow you to draw the smoke with ease. With that criterion in mind, you will find it easier to choose the right tool. One of the most popular tools is the guillotine cutter, but people also use knives and other implements. A bullet cutter is another popular choice, but they are not right for every cigar or every situation. As long as you learn how to use the bullet cutter, you will find that they are quite easy to use. Because there are many different brands and models on the market, you are going to discover that they may operate slightly different. In most cases, you will simply place the cutter against the cap of the cigar and then activate the punch. This creates a small single hole rather than the broad cut that you would get from a guillotine cutter or a knife. Because the hole punch only creates one small hole, you will find that the smoke, when you puff on the cigar, is drawn straight through that little hole. This can cause a moisture and tar buildup that is unpleasant for some smokers. You should also be aware that these punch cutters don't work on some types of cigars, such as the torpedo shaped cigars and cigars that are very large. This means that you should only use the bullet punch cutter in certain situations and with certain kinds of cigars. Still, you can keep one of these on your key ring and then have a guillotine cutter for other situations. Most cigar smokers choose to use the guillotine cutter in most circumstances. You can get a clean cut each time you use them, and you can even find them in the cutter/lighter combinations that you would find with the punch cutters. You will be able to find both kinds of cutter at online retailers with a quick search. DISCLAIMER: This article is provided as information only and is not to be taken as financial advice.
