How is the cut of my first cigar?
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.

@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.

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.... 👴🏻

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