Your cigar collection can never be considered complete until you get your hands on a good quality cigar cutter. Having good quality cigar cutters will enhance your smoking experience as they are vital piece of equipment for enabling you to have a smooth draw. Making a choice on which cigar cutter to purchase starts with recognising your exact need. Whether you are someone who smokes regularly or smokes only at particular occasions, a cigar cutter would certainly help you get a clean and convenient cut.
A cigar cutter is used to remove the cap of the cigar before smoking as it would lessen the enjoyment of smoking experience for the cigar enthusiast. Care must be taken to ensure that you are purchasing the right quality cigar cutter because; if you use an old, poor quality or worn cutter then it will ruin your cigar. Cigars are made of dried leaves, paper and tobacco and hence the chances of a cigar cut going awry are very high if you are using a bad quality cigar cutter.
A bad cut in the cigar can go unnoticed if you are an occasional smoker, but it is highly unlikely for an experienced cigar enthusiast to miss the impediment. While doing the cut, if the wrapper of the cigar gets damaged, then the cigar will be ruined for the smoker, and – whilst can still be smoked – it won’t be as enjoyable as experience.
Cigar cutters come in different shapes ranging from portable to desktop items and in different colours. They also come in combination with other devices and equipments like key chains, portable knife sets and other useful tools. The cigar cutter that you use must reflect your style and traits. If you are not sure about which cigar cutter to buy, it is always sensible to ask experienced cigar enthusiasts who would be happy to help you.

Four out of five of your senses have an important role to play in assessing the cigar. Sight, touch, smell and taste.

Affects of weather on cigars?
By: obogue | 20-01-2008
My cigars are stored in a humidor in my closet, at 70 degrees, usually around 68% RH. There is NO cigar smoking in my home at this time for various reasons. So I usually smoke them in the truck. I've noticed a lot of my cigars unravel at the cap where I cut them. And I've noticed several of them seem to develop a split in the side of them, after I've started smoking. I use a Xikar xi cutter, that is practically new. What is causing the unraveling? I smoke a variety of different premium brands and experience this with most of them. And the splitting? Could that be caused somehow by the -10 degree temperatures outside?
