How to cut that Cuban cigar

When I think of Cuban cigars, I think of how hundreds of years ago it was discovered and officially discovered by Christopher Columbus. The history of Cuban cigars is just part of the whole deal and a very small part too.

Even cutting a Cuban cigar is an art in it self. Cut it right, and you'll have one of the best smokes to enjoy. Cut it wrong and than you just have to suffer. Don't worry or get nervous if its your first time because you will find a way that suits you. Around the world, their are three styles of cutting it so lets see what will suit you.

Once you hold your cigar in your hand, have a look at both of the corners. You'll notice once is open ended and one actually has a 'cap' on it. Now this is the place where you have to make that precise cut so you can draw on your Cuban cigars. Be careful as too deep of a cut can cause the wrapper to unload and than your cigar wont be so pleasurable.

Cut the cap off but leave 25% of it on their, just to be on the safe side. Cuban cigars, although hand rolled, can be easily unwrapped if you make the wrong cut, so take extreme precaution when doing it. Be swift yet gentle and after you execute the proper cut, you should be doing just fine.

One of the most popular forms of cigar cutters is known as a guillotine cutter. It is actually a simple piece of equipment but it is something that no cigar enthusiast is usually without. They carry well in your pocket and are available in case you ever have time for an impromptu smoke. If you're using this type of cutter, don't take your time in actually cutting off the cap. Line up the cutter exactly where you want it, make your decision and then snip it quickly. This will provide you with a very clean cut which will make smoking a cigar much more enjoyable.

What the idea is that you should always have all the cutters required for you to enjoy and more importantly to use them. See Cuban cigars come in different shapes and sizes, so if you have all the styles, you are pretty much set for any kind of Cuban cigar that are out there. As some cutters work better on others, it is highly recommended that you get all the styles of cutters in close proximity to you.

This can work quite well but I personally do not like to use scissors for several different reasons. First of all, I find that they do not make as nice of a cut as a guillotine cutter and secondly, they are difficult to carry around. Take a look at your local cigar supplier and find one that you think you would like for yourself. It will soon simply become part of your cigar tradition.
