Guillotine vs. V-Cut vs. Punch: What’s the Difference?
Understanding the differences between cigar cutter types helps you choose the best tool for your cigar smoking lifestyle. Here's a quick chart breaking down the Pros and Cons for each cigar cutter that you might use.Â
|
Cutter Type |
Cut Style |
Best For |
Pros |
Cons |
|
Guillotine |
Straight cut across the cap |
Most cigar shapes and ring gauges |
Clean, full draw |
Requires precision, could get slightly messy |
|
V-shaped wedge cut into the cap |
Torpedo or tapered cigars |
Concentrated draw, deep flavor |
May crack thin wrappers |
|
|
Circular hole punched into the cap |
Medium to large ring cigars |
Mess-free, easy to use |
Limited airflow, not ideal for all cigars |
Pro Tip: Guillotine cigar cutters are the most versatile option, giving you the most open draw and working with nearly any cigar shape. If you want a more controlled draw, cut high up the cap, otherwise the lower you cut on the cap will open a large area.Â
