I am having my first cigar and I made a cut so small fearing not to go for an amateur cut. I would love to know the opinion of the cut I made. Is it an amateur or perfect ?

    Not bad. I would try taking just a hair more.

    Remember, if you cut it shallow then you can always cut a little more but if you take too much then it’s done.

    That's the one I smoked today.

    I meant to ask about the type, name, etc,.

    @Maneesh Welcome to the forum. Looks like you are using the same cutter I started with. Recommend you get a better cutter. You can pick up an Xikar for $30 that will last for a long time. I started with a punch, then went to a double guillotine which is the cutter I use today but I also have a V cut.

    Interesting that you should mention that. In the beginning, I went with a double guillotine but it didn’t take long for mr to get fed up with spitting tiny bits of tobacco all the time.

    So I tried a cheapie plastic v-cutter that I had. Too flimsy and not reliable to make a workmanlike cut so I swore off of the v-cutter and settled for a punch.

    Many years later, I tried a more substantial v-cutter and became an instant convert. Wish I hadn’t been so dumb years earlier.... 👴🏻

    Lotus jaws is the best cutter. Serrated so never goes dull. 23 bucks.

    Thank you, I will take that suggestion.

    So, @Maneesh , did you happen to see the article on cutting in the recent Cigar.com magazine? Just wondering.

    No Amos, I have been watching few videos on YouTube on how to get a perfect cut but I will try to take a look at that article.

    Get this: https://www.amazon.com/Cuban-Crafters-Perfect-Cutter-Chabetas/dp/B01DPYR4TC/ref=sr_1_2?crid=18LVIQW5P9YFV&dchild=1&keywords=cuban+crafters+perfect+cutter&qid=1595939319&sprefix=cuban+crafter,aps,166&sr=8-2
    And don't fret anymore. Very newb friendly. Later in life, you can study the art of circumcision if it's that crucial.
